Operator: Soxred 93

Automatic or Manually Assisted: Automatic

Programming Language(s): AWB

Function Summary: Replace all links to the toolserver from [http://tools.wikimedia.de] to [http://toolserver.org]

Edit period(s) (e.g. Continuous, daily, one time run): One time run

Already has a bot flag (Y/N): Y

Function Details: As some people may know, the m:Toolserver has been moved from the tools.wikimedia.de domain to the toolserver.org domain. Normally, that would be allright to leave all the old links, but after reading the mailing list posts, I read that the redirect will cause some bots to mess up. I figure that it is better to do it early, before any more links of the type amass. Also, we want people to recognize the new domain. :)

(Note: I am also sending a link to this BRFA to the mailing list)
