Cool Tools

[edit]

These are online tools I use all the time. All are free; none of them contain affiliate links. Except for the Wikimedia URL Shortner, these are all external links, i.e., not part of Wikipedia or its sister sites.

  • Wikimedia URL Shortner - Links to the following domains may be shortened using this tool: *.wikipedia.org, *.wiktionary.org, *.wikibooks.org, *.wikinews.org, *.wikiquote.org, *.wikisource.org, *.wikiversity.org, *.wikivoyage.org, *.wikimedia.org, *.wikidata.org and *.mediawiki.org.
  • Case Converter - Case Converter is a simple free online tool that converts any text to either lower case, upper case, proper or sentence case.
  • Remove Line Breaks - You can remove line breaks from blocks of text but preserve paragraph breaks with this tool.
  • Text Fixer - Online Text Tools - Too many great tools to list here. Well-organized, user-friendly, and free.
  • Character Counter - Useful when you want to experiment with different short descriptions and see how close you come to the ideal 40 characters.
  • Sᴍᴀʟʟᴄᴀᴘs text tool - Create official looking Small Caps text with this tool, for uses other than Wikipedia. Small Caps are uppercase characters with the 'x-height' of normal text. Among other uses, Small Caps are used for Bluebook legal citations, although on Wikipedia small caps are discouraged for understandable reasons. If you want to use small caps on Wikipedia, use the Smallcaps template, {{sc1}} or {{sc2}}. That template explains its limitations in the Technical notes section. There is also a helpful section, Reasons to use small caps.

Tip of the Day

[edit]
Change text size quickly with Ctrl+Scroll Wheel

If you have a scroll wheel mouse, hold down the Ctrl key on the keyboard while you roll the scroll wheel—it makes the text larger or smaller instantly!

Bonus tip: This tip works in many other applications too! For example, it is generally used for zooming in Microsoft Windows.
