-'''Tool Labs''' (or '''Tools''') is a hosting environment for community developers working on tools and bots that help users maintain and use wikis. Tool Labs provides access to replicas of Wikimedia databases, allowing developers to easily re-use this information for analytics, bot work, or by creating tools that help editors and other volunteers in their work. The infrastructure is supported by a dedicated group of Wikimedia Foundation staff and volunteers.

-All Tool Labs web applications are served through [https://tools.wmflabs.org/ tools.wmflabs.org]. The main page provides an overview of user groups. Tool Labs supersedes the "Toolserver" previously run by Wikimedia Deutschland.
