Several of the error 500 rows are just wikis with API (now) disabled, e.g. http://wiki.zaksenterprises.com/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&maxlag=5 (http://wikistats.wmflabs.org/detail.php?t=mw&id=130) which however has a functional http://kaoshi.wobuxihuan.org/wiki/Special:Version .

Timestamp was older than 14 days.";" but there were no wikis with that status. running this found 17 (of the 209) wikis (only) these can now be seen here, so they are identified as the bug asks for: http://wikistats.wmflabs.org/display.php?t=mw&s=http_desc -- reminder to self: please commit the change to /usr/share/php/wikistats/functions.php and edit /usr/share/php/wikistats/http_status_codes.php
Change 159963 had a related patch set uploaded by Dzahn: detect mw configuration errors in header https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/159963
hah, it also finds rare stuff like this: http://www.analisis-tecnico.eu/api.php?action=query&meta=siteinfo&siprop=statistics&maxlag=5 -> "MediaWiki 1.20 requires at least PHP version 5.3.2, you are using PHP 5.2.17" --- well, the wikis are identified and can be deleted or fixed to use non-API method (maybe). and the change is here https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/159963/ resolving
