I spent 2 weeks looking at the code and couldn’t find it. When I managed to get it working on my local installation I applied the fixes and it was still broken. The code is too convoluted and stationary that it takes a lot of effort to simply get it working else where. Thank you Hedonil. As such I can no longer provide the time to maintain these tools as they are poorly documented and too time-consuming for me to fix, and have as such lost interest in their maintainence.<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal">I’m sorry everyone.<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black">Cyberpower678<br>English Wikipedia Account Creation Team<br>Mailing List Moderator<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:black"><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p></div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><div><blockquote style="margin-top:5.0pt;margin-bottom:5.0pt"><div><p class="MsoNormal">On Nov 4, 2015, at 13:09, TParis <<a href="mailto:tparis.wiki@gmail.com">tparis.wiki@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<o:p></o:p></p></div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div><div><p class="MsoNormal">Someone should go through the current edition of X!'s tools and make a list.
