==General editing tools==
[[Image:WikEd screenshot.png|450px|thumb|none|Screenshot of [[User:Cacycle/wikEd|wikEd]], a full-featured in-browser text editor]]
Tools that don't assist with a specific kind of edits, but just whatever edits the user is making.

===Firefox addons===
{{see also|Wikipedia:Tools/Browser tools/Mozilla Firefox|Category:Wikipedia browser extensions}}

There are always a lot of different addons for editing or reading Wikipedia, sometimes not so stable or not so long lasting, but you can likely find some that will help you seriously.

Available at [https://addons.mozilla.org/en/firefox/search/?q=wiki mozilla.org].

==== QuickWikiEditor ====
With this [[Firefox]]-add-on it is possible to make little edits to wiki-articles without having to leave or reload the page, so the flow in reading an article is barely disturbed.

Available now [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/quickwikieditor_updated/ addons.mozilla.org].

===wikEd===
[[User:Cacycle/wikEd|wikEd]] is a full-featured, in-browser text editor that adds enhanced text processing functions to Wikipedia and other MediaWiki edit pages (currently Mozilla, Firefox, SeaMonkey, Safari, and Chrome only).

Features include:
* Pasting formatted text, e.g. from MS-Word (including tables)
* Converting the formatted text to wikicode'''
* Wikicode syntax highlighting
* Regular expression search and replace and find-as-you-type
* Server-independent ''Show preview'' and ''Show changes''
* Fullscreen editing mode
* Single-click fixing of common mistakes
* History for summary, search, and replace fields
*Search/replace box that supports regular expressions.

===Offline MediaWiki Code Editor===
[https://wikicodeeditor.wordpress.com Offline MediaWiki Code Editor] is a multilingual freeware offline application programmed in ''AutoHotkey'' script language for those ''Windows''® users who edit articles in ''Wikipedia'' and other projects of the ''Wikimedia Foundation''.  It includes tools and assistants with a simple and intuitive user-friendly Graphical User Interface (GUI) which helps the user to generate much of the ''MediaWiki'' code. Among other gifts the assistants help the user to:
{{columns-list|colwidth=20em|
*Apply list style
*Build links 
*Split in columns
*Insert special characters
*Insert inline references
*Insert images
*Insert image galleries
*Insert tables
*Browse/Concatenate files
*Compare versions of a document
*Convert to HTML and preview
*Two-windows mode 
}}

The application makes easier and faster the edition of articles, even if the user lacks previous knowledge of the markup rules. It helps to prevent mistakes during the process of edition, and to pay less attention to the syntax. Although the application program was designed for users with no previous knowledge of the ''MediaWiki'' language, it is also useful for experts, once it saves time and reduces the possibility of typing errors. Although is not a visual editor, it offers the possibility to test offline most of your code in your default web browser. This tests simulate the behavior that would show the wiki code in a ''Wikipedia'' page. The installer may be downloaded free from the [https://wikicodeeditor.wordpress.com Offline MediaWiki Code Editor] site. 

Both the installer and the application interface are available in English, Spanish, German and French. Last update (October 13, 2024) can be downloaded from [https://ln5.sync.com/dl/4f2354260/bjpw49kv-5schka8s-hp489h27-thgbzkue here].

===PyAutoWikiBrowser===
[[Wikipedia:PyAutoWikiBrowser|PyAutoWikiBrowser]] (PyAWB) is an editing assist tool for [[MediaWiki]] similar to [[Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser|AWB]], but since it is written in [[Python (programming language)|Python]], it is intended to be [[cross-platform]]. Currently it is under development, but it is available for testing as a command line tool. While in beta please restrict editing to your own userspace, or preferably, sign up at [[testwiki:Main Page|Test Wiki]] and use that. Enter the project test (not Wikipedia) and language test when running make.py to set up the software.

===Pywikibot===
Useful for creating bots, or for interactive repair of interwiki links.

==Information display==
===Navigation popups===
[[Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups]] gives a popup box containing the first paragraph of an article when hovering over a link; it also allows quick access to common editing operations. If the wiki provides the NavPop gadget, it can be enabled in user preferences under the gadgets tab. Otherwise, installed by editing the user's [[Special:MyPage/skin.js|skin.js]] file.

===Alternative preview===
Alex Smotrov's [[User talk:Alex Smotrov/qpreview.js|QPreview]] adds an edit toolbar button that uses XMLHttpRequest to generate page preview without reloading the whole page. QPreview functionality has also been added to the [[Wikipedia:Tools/Editing tools#wikEd|wikEd]] editor tool.

===WikiCheck watchlist tool===
[[User:Gerbrant/WikiCheck|WikiCheck]] is a small tool to make checking your watchlist easier. Docked to the left screen edge it shows a list of changes that occurred since the last time the list was checked. Clicking on a change will open the corresponding diff in a new browser window.

It is based on the Perl module HTML::WikiConverter which performs HTML→wiki conversion and is available on [[CPAN]]. (by [[User:Diberri|en:Diberri]]). This converter can fetch a URL instead of pasting the html.
: '''Tip''': If you receive no conversion but an "Internal Server Error" or nothing at all, the HTML source may be too large
: '''Tip''': If you experience problems with non-ASCII characters, paste UTF-8 code as ASCII (Ã„ instead of Ä), convert and restore original encoding (SciTe could help you doing the encoding conversions)

===Disambiguation fixer===
[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Disambiguation fixer|Disambiguation fixer]] is a program to fix the links to Disambiguation pages. (See [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links]])

===Regex: change heading levels===
The following may seem trivial for Unix-experienced people, but a collection of ready-to-use regular expressions can help people who don't know anything or much about regular expressions. For these people: You can use regular expressions in many editors to perform complex editing tasks.

This will give the headings more (or fewer) equal signs (<code>=</code>). I can only provide a version which is verified to work in [[Wikipedia:Text editor support#Eclipse|Eclipse]], but it will work in many text editors which feature Unix-style regular expressions.

Please change the expressions only if you are very, very sure that it will work correctly, say you have tested that it works.

====Verified in [[Wikipedia:Text editor support#Eclipse|Eclipse]]====

Search-string:
 ^=(=*?)([^=]+?)(=*?)=\s*$
''For more equal signs replace with:''
 ==$1$2$3==
''For fewer equal signs replace with:''
 $1$2$3
''To balance right equals signs to left:''
 =$1$2$1=

====Hints for text editors not mentioned====
In other editors, the replace strings will have to be different:

''For more equal signs replace with:''
 ==\1\2\3==
''For less equal signs replace with:''
 \1\2\3

===Units of measure formatting and conversion tool and date formatting tool===
[[User:MJCdetroit/monobook.js]] is a monobook tool that allows many common units to be correctly formatted (e.g. km² and not sq&nbsp;km) and converted between metric and imperial/U.S. customary systems with one click on a 'units' tab in edit mode.

Dates can be delinked and common errors associated with can be corrected with one click on a 'dates' tab in edit mode.

Units and dates can be combined by clicking the 'combined' tab in the edit mode.

To avoid false positives, editors can/should review the changes offered and accept or reject the changes offered and/or do more editing before pressing 'Save'. Simply add {{code|lang=javascript|code=importScript("User:MJCdetroit/monobook.js");}} to your own monobook. Follow the instructions in your monobook to clear the cache (i.e., press {{Key press|Ctrl|Shift|R}} in Firefox or {{Key press|Ctrl|F5}} in Internet Explorer) before it will work. —<span style="border:1px solid black;padding:1px;">[[User:MJCdetroit|'''<font color="#0000CD">MJC</font ><font color="#FF0000">detroit</font >''']]</span> [[User talk:MJCdetroit|<sup><font color="green">(yak)</font></sup>]] 20:32, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

===Labelled Image Editor===
The [[Template:Image label begin|Labelled Image Editor]] is a Java tool that creates and edits labelled links for an image. Useful for creating clickable maps like [[Template:United States Labelled Map]]. http://mujibab.googlepages.com/labelledimageeditor

===Obsolete===
====Interwiki link checker====
* [http://tools.wikimedia.de/~flacus/IWLC/] to interwiki articles in different languages which ought to have a link.

====Go-to-edit-page contextual menu item====
* This [[Wikicities:CMEScript:Edit wiki script|script]] for a Firefox extension allows one to go directly to the edit page of a right-clicked wiki page link (control-clicked on a Macintosh one-button mouse).

====Timeline creation tool====
For a tool to create nice graphical timelines, see [[meta:Wikipedia Project Time Charts]] and the [http://infodisiac.com/Wikipedia/EasyTimeline/Introduction.htm Easy Timeline Homepage]. (by [[meta:user:Erik Zachte|meta:Erik Zachte]])

====Extra edit page buttons====
[[Image:Extra edit page buttons.png|thumb|right|250px]]

For extra edit page buttons, put the following code in [[Special:Mypage/skin.js|your skin.js]]: {{tlx|js|User:MarkS/extraeditbuttons.js}}. The buttons include: left aligned text, sub-script, super-script, insert table, insert quoted text. More details can be found at [[User:MarkS/Extra edit buttons]].
{{clear}}
====Wiki Welcome====
<syntaxhighlight lang="javascript">
// A small piece of JS written by [[User:MatthewFenton]], This is my first piece of JS.
function welcome() {
    if (document.title.indexOf('Editing User talk:') == 0) {
        document.editform.wpTextbox1.value = document.editform.wpTextbox1.value + '==' +
          'Welcome' + '==\n' + '{{subst:User:' + 'MatthewFenton/Welcome}}\n~~' + '~~';
        document.editform.wpSummary.value = 'Welcome a user to Wikipedia using JS WW';
    }
}
function welcome_tab() {
    add_link('javascript:welcome()', 'Welcome');
}

if (document.title.indexOf('Editing User talk:') == 0) {
 addOnloadHook(welcome_tab);
}
</syntaxhighlight>

The code adds a tab when you are on user talk pages, you can then click it to add a welcome template and then save. A little time saver for me I thought I would share. <font face="Tahoma" size="1"><font color="#C11B17">Matthew</font> '''<font color="#3366ff">[[User talk:MatthewFenton|Fenton]] (</font>'''[[Special:Contributions/MatthewFenton|<span style="color:#356468;">contribs</span>]]<font color="#3366ff">''')'''</font></font> 16:25, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

====Footnote renumbering tool====
{{hatnote|The templates {{tl|fn}} and {{tl|fnb}} were deleted in [[Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2010 March 18#Template:Fn|March 2010]]. This tool is no longer useful on the English Wikipedia.}}
If you have a page with many footnotes using {{tl|fn}} and {{tl|fnb}}, and they're all in the wrong order, this script could be useful. Written in Python, tested on a Linux system with Python 2.4.
