[Labs-l] Citoid front-end - reflinks alternative

[Hedonil]

I appreciate a working alternative. Diversity rules.

The other causa: In some cases, AGF is stretched to its limit. Recently
i clicked a link in enwp
http://toolserver.org/~dispenser/view/Peer_reviewer
which redirected me without any warning to a 3rd-party side. I don't
like this.

To prevent this in the future, for me and others, I'm currently working
on a comprehensive directory 2.0 service which will display some
additional information about the provided services. Among others if it
uses TOS-violating tracking techniques, external (tracked) resources or
doesn't provide insight to its sources.
Those services will be marked and rated down.

PS: I still believe in AGF and I'm aware that progress is driven by
controversy. But regarding some manners and looking at
https://tools.wmflabs.org/directory/?view=tools&show=all&search=dispenser
(counting like 42 inactive, completely locked down tools) gives me food
for thought.
