JR's productivity tipsI use many tricks and tools to help me get things done faster around the wiki. I will list them out here as I recall them. Please note that I use Firefox as my primary internet browser and all listed add-ons may only be available for Firefox.
I will add to this list as I think of new things. --Jade Raventalk 23:16, December 8, 2016 (UTC) |
