In the last months, I’ve developed several tools for Wikipedia contributors using Observable. Observable allows me to develop tools quickly without any infrastructure or deployment issue. I can even code my tools from my mobile phone. The list of my tools is in the collection [Wikipedia tools / PAC / Observable](https://observablehq.com/collection/@pac02/wikipedia-tools) I’ve developed tools which analyse blue links in Wikipedia articles such as [Article's wikilinks inspector / PAC / Observable](https://observablehq.com/@pac02/articles-wikilinks-inspector?collection=@pac02/wikipedia-tools) or [Explore gender diversity in a single Wikipedia article / PAC / Observable](https://observablehq.com/@pac02/explore-gender-diversity-in-a-single-wikipedia-article?collection=@pac02/wikipedia-tools) I’ve also developed tools which provides insights about the list of articles created by a wikipedia contributor such as [User-level gender statistics for Wikipedia / PAC / Observable](https://observablehq.com/@pac02/user-level-gender-statistics-for-wikipedia?collection=@pac02/wikipedia-tools) or [Look at your list of created articles through Wikidata. / PAC / Observable](https://observablehq.com/@pac02/look-at-your-list-of-created-articles-through-wikidata?collection=@pac02/wikipedia-tools). My latest tool provides insights about the number of words, number of references and number of sections in the list of articles created by wikipedian : [Look at your list of created articles with the Xtools Page API / PAC / Observable](https://observablehq.com/@pac02/look-at-your-list-of-created-articles-with-the-xtools-page-ap?collection=@pac02/wikipedia-tools) Your feedback would be greatly appreciated. If you know some other notebooks about Wikipedia, feel free to share them in this conversation. ---

I’ve written a new piece in the Signpost explaining how I use Observable to build tools for wikipedians : [Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2023-02-04/Tips and tricks - Wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2023-02-04/Tips_and_tricks)
