Tool Labs (or Tools) is a hosting environment for community developers working on services that provide value to the Wikimedia and Wiki ecosystem. Tool Labs provides access to replicas of the Wikimedia databases and many other services. These services allow developers to easily do adhoc analytics, administer bots, run webservices, and generally create tools to help editors and other volunteers in their work. The infrastructure is supported by a dedicated group of Wikimedia Foundation staff and volunteers.

Using the Tools

The Tool Labs community-developed web applications are all listed at tools.wmflabs.org. There is also a smaller selection listed in more detail at Hay's Tools Directory.
