Tools which 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).

===Offline MediaWiki Code Editor===
[https://wikicodeeditor.wordpress.com/version-1-0/ Offline MediaWiki Code Editor] is a freeware proprietary offline application to edit code for ''English Wikipedia'' pages. It includes a full collection of tools and assistants which help the user to generate much of the mediawiki code with a minimum of effort. The application offers frameworks for: new articles, disambiguation pages, redirect pages or user pages, as well as assistants for most elements composing ''English Wikipedia'' pages: 

* Citations (including a repository)
* Columns (of equal or unequal widths)
* Links (external/internal/interwiki/interlanguage)
* Templates (>250 most used, with repository)
* Images (single/cropped/annotated/wide/tall)
* Galleries (several techniques)
* Tables (with regular or merged cells)
* Charts (line/area/bar/pie/brick charts)
* Magic words (>100 most used)
* Special characters (>100 most used)

The user only requires a computer with the English version of ''Microsoft Access 2010/2013/2016'' or ''[https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=50040 Microsoft Access Runtime 2016]'' to run the application. The installers and help files can be downloaded from the site of the project: {{URL|https://github.com/Cacucho/hello-world/wiki}}, while the full help documentation can also be directly consulted in {{URL|https://documentation.help/Offline-MediaWiki-code-editor/Introduction.htm}}. 
This version is not available in other languages and it is not recommended to make editions in other language versions of ''Wikipedia'', because the templates do not apply to them equally. 

An improved second version -in Spanish- has been released for Spanish Wikipedia users only: {{URL|https://wikicodeeditor.wordpress.com/}}. This second version do not work on ''MSAccess'' in English and the generated code does not apply to English Wikipedia.

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>'''<font color="#356468">[[Special:Contributions/MatthewFenton|contribs]]</font><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.
