• Toolhunt workboard: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/toolhunt/

Notes

• Toolhub - a catalog of WM tools

Too many tools, so little time and ways to find them

• Each tool listed has a toolinfo record
• Based on hay's standard (the original dev of the tool)

updated in 2022 to add new fields (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T308030)
see https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Toolhub/Data_model#Toolinfo_schema

*The new editing web interface brings in new fields that are mostly empty

Gamification effort
*Example tool: Citation Hunt
gamification of citation improvement

• The same was done to ToolForge -Toolhunt
• Known issues
• It's a random collection of tasks, so you get a random one, and can't choose

Now there's a search bar! You can search the name of the tool - it was a Hackathon 2023 project :)

• Some data just can't be found, there's no original documentation, and there's no way to indicate that on the tool

Ideas/questions/feedback

• Integrate toolhunt into toolhub to improve it's visibility
• Something they would like to explore if there's enough time
• So many people that are not active editors love citation hunt because it's fun; classifying tools that are good for beginners in toolhunt could help newcomers

• A way to flag tools that have tools with no info, like a no-info.json
• Could there be a way to flag this in the toolhub side to improve toolhunt and remove it, or remove test tools that were created to test the platform

• Is there a way to distinguish "we don't know this info" from "there's no info"? Not yet

• Great that it doesn't have a specific URL for specific tools so it's not confusing when sharing
• You get the name of the tool, so it's clearer.

The presenter's favorite tools are toolhunt and citation hunt.
