  • Editing tools, tools intended to provide enhanced editing functionality. Contains edit page tools, edit bots, spellcheckers, wikisyntax conversion utilities, etc.
  • Browser tools, tools categorized by browser type
  • Citation tools, tools for citing and referencing
  • Anti-vandalism tools, tools for patrolling and cleaning up Wikipedia
  • Alternative browsing, alternatives to accessing Wikipedia through your web browser (mobile devices, desktop integration, alternate portals, etc.)
  • User scripts, a collection of JavaScript routines that add functionality to Wikipedia pages (e.g., regex search and replace, changing article formatting, and simplifying common tasks)
  • WatchlistBot is a bot that delivers realtime alerts via instant message (XMPP) when watched articles are edited or when watched users or IP networks edit.
  • Navigation shortcuts offer the ability to add personal links to the sidebar, providing quick and easy access to favourite articles within Wikipedia.
  • Finding duplicated references: a tool that will find references with the same URL on a page, with some false positives and missed items, is the URL Extractor For Web Pages and Text. It is not a Wikipedia tool, and there may be other tools available for the purpose. Instructions on its use for Wikipedia are in WP:DUPREF. Such references can often usefully be merged, using <ref name= xxx/> for all except one.

SearchingEdit

Template:See also

  • GlobalWPSearch, search across projects and show missing interlanguage links.
  • macOS Dashboard Widget (deprecated)
  • whichsub finds transcluded templates of a given page which contain a given string.
  • Find Link Tool Find links on Wikipedia. Tool created by Edward Betts.
  • Wikimedia Global Search, perform Elasticsearch-based searches across the wikitext of all Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) wikis via WMCS Toolforge and Cloud Elastic services. Due to potential for abuse of expensive long-running queries (e.g., DoS attack), SUL login is required.
  • Insource search is a handy tool that lets you find specific terms or regex patterns across all Wikimedia wikis. It generates a list of pages containing those terms, making it super useful for tasks like AWB/JWB and other search-related activities.
