<!--T:1-->
This page contains a collection of tools and services to simplify, make more efficient, or provide additional functionality to the work with Wikimedia Commons. Some of the tools here are optionally [[<tvar name=1>#Tool integration</tvar>|directly integrated]] within the Wikimedia Commons web interface. If you want to know how to play back and view contents of Wikimedia Commons have a look at the {{pg|Commons:Media help|media help page}}. If you are in search for software editing and creating media files have a look at our {{pg|Commons:Software|software page}}. There is also an automatically generated [<tvar name=hays>https://hay.toolforge.org/directory/#/search/commons</tvar> list] of commons tools on Toolforge.

<!--T:2-->
Some tools have a gadget available to provide convenient access. Gadgets can be activated in your [[<tvar name=prefs>Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets</tvar>|Preferences]].

==Tool integration== <!--T:3-->

<!--T:4-->
Some of the tools described here are directly integrated into the web interface of Wikimedia Commons via {{pg|Commons:Gadget|gadgets}} (notably {{pg|Help:Gadget-ExtraTabs2|ExtraTabs2}}). Gadgets can be enabled via [[<tvar name=prefs>Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets</tvar>|the Gadgets tab of a user's Preferences]]. Tools marked with an asterisk (*) on this page have an associated gadget.

== Authenticating tools (OAuth) == <!--T:5-->

<!--T:7-->
Most tools use MediaWiki's '''[[<tvar name=oauth>mw:Special:MyLanguage/Help:OAuth</tvar>|OAuth]]''' support to provide seamless integration and allow tools to securely take actions under your username. An example is {{pg|Commons:CropTool|CropTool}}. No separate account is required for using tools which support OAuth. Your password is never disclosed to tools using OAuth authentication, and you can revoke a tool's access to your account at any time. </translate>
