Tools
edit- Diberri's PubMed citation tool
- External links search tool - because a good spam is hard to find (apologies to Flannery O'Connor).
- The Crackpot Index - needs to be updated to include a 50-point bonus if you've been banned from Wikipedia for promoting your theory here.
- Automated complaint letter generator - apparently also generates a large number of WP:AN/I posts.
- The Field Guide to Trolls - unfortunately, does not cover the rich natural diversity of Wikipedia, the Galapagos of trollery.
- The Quackometer - an attempt at automating a tedious process. Results may vary.
