Hello all,
Back in 2008, river started the TS reports project, which tried to solve the common use case of 'report' queries: queries such as Special:BrokenTemplates. However, due to its caching structure, it was only usable for short-running queries, where the user would be patient enough to wait for the result.
In the last week, I have improved the cache, which means the tool can now also be used for heavier queries. The main improvements are these: - Queries are now run in the background; while the query is running, and old, cached, version of the report is shown - Reports are cached for a duration that depends on the query runtime. This means enwiki reports will be cached for much longer than, say, svwiktionary.
Please test the tool at [1], and see if you can break it ;-)
In addition, I welcome any ideas, and especially ideas for useful reports. You can either open an issue in JIRA [2] or create a report yourself (via github; [3]).
Best,
Merlijn
