These are online tools I use all the time. All are free; none of them contain affiliate links. Except for the Wikimedia URL Shortner, these are all external links, i.e., not part of Wikipedia or its sister sites.

• Wikimedia URL Shortner - Links to the following domains may be shortened using this tool: *.wikipedia.org, *.wiktionary.org, *.wikibooks.org, *.wikinews.org, *.wikiquote.org, *.wikisource.org, *.wikiversity.org, *.wikivoyage.org, *.wikimedia.org, *.wikidata.org and *.mediawiki.org.
• Case Converter - Case Converter is a simple free online tool that converts any text to either lower case, upper case, proper or sentence case.
• Remove Line Breaks - You can remove line breaks from blocks of text but preserve paragraph breaks with this tool.
• Text Fixer - Online Text Tools - Too many great tools to list here. Well-organized, user-friendly, and free.
• Character Counter - Useful when you want to experiment with different short descriptions and see how close you come to the ideal 40 characters.
• Sᴍᴀʟʟᴄᴀᴘs text tool - Create official looking Small Caps text with this tool, for uses other than Wikipedia. Small Caps are uppercase characters with the 'x-height' of normal text. Among other uses, Small Caps are used for Bluebook legal citations, although on Wikipedia small caps are discouraged for understandable reasons. If you want to use small caps on Wikipedia, use the Smallcaps template, {{sc1}} or {{sc2}}. That template explains its limitations in the Technical notes section. There is also a helpful section, Reasons to use small caps.

Tip of the day... Digital audio support Wikipedia uses the Ogg Vorbis, FLAC and WAV formats for audio, as they are not encumbered by patents (an issue that prompted the decision that MP3 files will not be hosted at Wikipedia). Software supporting Vorbis exists for many platforms... Mozilla Firefox 4, Opera 10.5 and Google Chrome 3 (and later versions) each include their own support for Ogg Vorbis files. As for multimedia players, Winamp can be used to play Ogg Vorbis files. Although iTunes does not natively support Vorbis, Xiph.Org provides a QuickTime component which can be used in players that rely on QuickTime, such as iTunes, on both Microsoft Windows and Mac OS. DirectShow filters exist to decode Vorbis in multimedia players like Windows Media Player and others which support DirectShow. Various online tools (such as Zamzar) are available which let you freely convert one file format into another, and can be useful when you want to upload a file to Wikipedia.
