Tools, broadly speaking, are software applications used in the Wikimedia community to perform some function that cannot be done within the wikis themselves. These include tools that facilitate editing by identifying quick editing tasks or semi-automatically performing a large number of very similar edits, but also include data visualization tools, metadata extraction tools, and other tools that enhance or otherwise remix content from the wikis.

Different services have made computing resources and web hosting available free of charge to tool developers, starting with Wikimedia Deutschland's Toolserver from 2005 to 2014 and the Wikimedia Foundation's Toolforge (formerly Tool Labs) since 2013.
