Revision Content

Members of the MDN community are clever and creative people, and over time have launched many fun and/or useful projects to create tools, add-ons, and utilities that make it easier to use MDN or to contribute to its content.

Here you'll find links to a number of these projects. Many of them are looking for more help getting them finished, too, so if you're a coder looking to help out, you may find an opportunity here!

MDN doc tests add-on
A Firefox add-on that creates a sidebar that appears while you're editing on MDN, providing some tools for testing and validating your content. It's a work in progress, and more tests are welcome!
MDN Interface Documentation Generator
This Firefox add-on helps to generate properly-formatted skeletons of references for XPCOM interfaces. It hasn't been updated in a while, so it doesn't always get the version compatibility information right, but it's still helpful in many cases. With some updating, it could become invaluable again.
 
Save with comment hotkey addon
A Firefox add-on that lets you instantly scroll to and focus the Revision Comment field in the MDN editor; this makes it easier to add these helpful tidbits of information to your edits.
Sublime Text MDN search plug-in
A Sublime Text plug-in that lets you quickly search MDN to get docs while you code.
