To me it has always seemed odd that Mediawiki's *core interface* has no large friendly button called "Tools". It could lead by default to project-space:Tools, i.e. to Wikipedia:Tools on Wikipedia. From then on, it's up to the community to curate the page usefully, probably including explaining about Toolforge and directing to its various directory meta-tools. But it's that first *invitation* and *discoverability* of the very notion of tools that's missing, for even some experienced editors. If some people agree, perhaps they'd be interested in starting a discussion on Mediawiki.org making the case for it, addressing the (inevitable) objections people may have, discussing the design and location of the button, etc. I don't know if the Foundation's Product team has thoughts about this, but even if it is not currently on any team's roadmap, it can be useful to work out a proposal with broad community support for how it could be done. The actual implementation would be technically simple, and mostly a question of the skin design: location, spacing, mobile, etc. A.
