Tools I recommend

Chrome extensions and websites

  • Google Translate's extension
  • reFill, link, Chrome extension (automatically generates template for bare URLs)
  • Wayback Machine's extension
  • Citation tool for Google Books
  • Google Alerts for Google News and Google Scholar (stay up to date on certain topics)

Preferences

  • Watchlist → Expand watchlist to show all changes, not just the most recent
  • Recent changes → Group changes by page in recent changes and watchlist
  • Gadgets → Navigation popups
  • Gadgets → Twinkle
  • Gadgets → Hotcat

Tools I can barely recommend

  • WP:Visual Editor (mostly for copy-editing, everything else I'd suggest just sticking to the normal editor)

Articles created or expanded

My advice

  • WP:NOTABILITY is not about being fair, while WP:NPOV is.
  • Consistent compliance with Wikipedia policy is more important than your personal beliefs. Inconsistent compliance is a good sign of activist editing.
  • When you join a wiki community, be a constructive editor.
Ask intelligent questions

When asking a question about editing Wikipedia at the Teahouse or Help desk, please include all the facts needed to answer your question - especially the page title you're enquiring about. Most respondents will assume you are editing in 'desktop' view, and are using Source Editor, not Visual Editor (VE). So remember to say if you're working on a mobile or using VE.

Always give context to any question. At the Reference desk, for example, don't ask "who was president in 1900?" without mentioning the country you're interested in! This prevents volunteers helpers having to ask follow-up questions before providing answers. Friendly reminder: the Teahouse (for new editors) and Help desk are for questions on how to use or edit Wikipedia; the Reference desk is for questions about anything else (real world questions).
