[edit] Tools

As they are presented, tools are very confusing. The pages suffer from information overload (too many competing tools to choose from) and poor documentation (most of the tools don't have adequate documentation on how to use them, especially scripts). I'm in the process of sifting through the tools and adding the most useful I find to a single set of tools. There's no reason to have 10 spellcheckers, when the best of the lot will do. For tools mining, see User:The Transhumanist/List of tool topics
