Hi. I reported an issue with the proseSize tool hereWikipedia_talk:Prosesize#Big_drop_in_#_prose_words_after_remove_duplicate_spaces!?!?. Do you have time to look at it? If not, I'm a sw engineer and could probably resolve it, but I'm not sure how these tools work within WP: are they shared and anyone can improve them? Or are they owned by individual editors?Noleander (talk)15:41, 17 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The tool actually calls an API maintained by @Legoktm - I would ask him to take a look.Galobtter (talk)03:29, 19 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the ping, I've followed up on the original thread and fixed it.Legoktm (talk)03:23, 21 December 2025 (UTC)[reply]
