First of all thanks for toolserver, it's a great service!

(I posted this question on jira as well but I'm not sure I found a way to "assign" it to someone and so if anyone saw it. The issue on Jira is at https://jira.toolserver.org/browse/DBQ-202 )

I have a script which computes statistics on the gender of users in the different language wikipedias.
https://github.com/volpino/toolserver-scripts/blob/master/python_scripts/get_gender_table.py

Now it gets some errors for some wikis.
arwiki_p, hewiki_p, ...

It seems in the databases for this wikis (possibly all the wikis in cluster 7, I am not sure) the table "user_properties" is missing (and my script does a JOIN on that table).

Can you verify if this is the case, please? I have a deadline for writing a paper based on these data on Friday 15 (tomorrow) and currently I'm missing the data for few wikis ;(

Below a simple example that shows how the table user_properties is missing for arwiki (on sql7) and it is not missing on abwiki (on sql3).

Thanks!
