The Wikimedia Toolserver is a cluster of servers operated by Wikimedia Deutschland e. V. It is used to provide hosting and combined access to all the useful tools which were written by different people for the Wikimedia projects. The toolserver offers a replicated database of Wikimedia's projects. Interested programmers should get shell access there to update and care for their scripts.
Servers
Template:Toolserver The cluster is located in Amsterdam and they fulfill various roles:
- Database Server - These contain replicated copies of each Wikimedia project. They also contain a full text copy of each revision which is in separate compressed storage that is not freely accessible.
- Web Server - These are what users see when they use any web based tools such as: There also includes a Stable server for more commonly accessed tools.
- Login Server - These act as shell servers which provide access to users to run bots, scripts, and other queries.

Toolserver reports
As the toolserver constantly replicates the databases that hold details about Wikipedia and the pages between them, Wikipedians with access to the toolserver are ideally placed to query the server and derive customised reports for other Wikipedians on request. The relationships easiest to query are between:
- pages
- the categories they are in
- the external links they have
- the images or other media they link to.
Current Wikipedia projects that rely on the Toolserver
Please add any projects here
- WP:CHU, WP:CHU/U and WP:CHU/SUL - the change username pages
- Category:Living people
- Wikipedia:Untagged images
- Wikipedia:Proposed deletion
- Category:Orphaned non-free use Wikipedia files (especially finding orphaned fair use images is hard without it)
- Wikipedia:Requests for adminship edit counter
- Wikipedia:WikiProject edit counters
- WP:1000 This cannot be updated without toolserver access to enwiki. [1]
- Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting involves much searching on (recursive) category intersections, currently only possible with Cat Scan
- WikiDashboard relies on toolserver to serve up most up-to-date statistics for each article and editor.
- Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations
- Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links
