The Toolforge community-developed web applications are all listed at tools.wmflabs.org. There is also a smaller selection listed in more detail at Hay's Tools Directory

Overview

Toolforge is a hosting environment that makes it easy for you to perform analytics, administer bots, run webservices, and create tools to help project editors, technical contributors, and other volunteers who are working on Wikimedia projects.

Toolforge is part of the Wikimedia Cloud Services (WMCS) suite of services. It is supported by Wikimedia Foundation staff and volunteers.
