Editing

 * AjaxPreview (user script) – Preview how citations will appear when editing sections (Note: this has been rendered partially obsolete by recent MediaWiki improvements)
 * AutoWikiBrowser (AWB) (Windows app) – Semi-automate your edits. Notes:
 * AWB is a very powerful tool recommended only to those who are technically oriented ('tis not for the faint of heart).
 * All edits you make, whether using AWB or not, are your responsibility.
 * AWB is great for checking typos, although it is not complete nor perfect (it helps if you're already a good speller, good with grammar, and have a good grasp of Wikipedia's Manual of Style).
 * Capricorn (user script) – Create/edit redirect pages with a user interface (esp. helpful for redirecting to sections or placing correct redirect templates on the page)
 * Dashes (user script) – Correct use of dashes in an article
 * Duplinks (user script) – Find duplicate links in an article
 * FindArgDups (user script) – Find duplicate arguments in templates (can uncover hidden content sometimes)
 * Heading editor (user script) – Modify section headings when viewing a page, starting with a single click on the heading, usually to conform to sentence case per MOS:HEADER
 * HideTopContrib (user script) – Hide all the contributions where you were the last editor; this is useful for following up on changes made since you last edited an article, without having to add everything you'ved changed to your watchlist
 * LinkClassifier (user script) – Color-code links on pages to inform you of their nature; this is particularly useful for finding ambiguous and self-redirecting links
 * MOSNUM dates (user script) – Delink all dates and date fragments, and converts them all to the same format
 * PetScan (web app) – Determine intersections of category trees (AWB's "List comparer" can be used for much of this function)
 * ReFill – Expand bare references (adds cite template with title, dates, etc.)
 * RefRenamer (user script) – Replace reference names that were auto-generated (e.g. :1 or auto) so they are more meaningful

Statistics

 * Massviews – Shows view counts from a set of articles
 * To show the view counts of WikiProject Louisville-included articles, enter the URL https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:WikiProject_Louisville_articles as the category source and check "Use subject page instead of talk page" (runs very slow)

WikiProject maintenance

 * Rater (user script) – Aids in assessing articles for WikiProjects (Note: this may cause problems with some pages loading completely)
 * Update project data (web app) – Updates assessment-related files - run this when assessment table updates fall behind
