Another tool provides a map of your articles related to geolocated Wikidata items using property {{Wikidata property link|P625}}.<ref>Map your list of created articles through Wikidata: https://observablehq.com/@pac02/map-your-list-of-created-articles-through-wikidata</ref>

We can also have insights about the content of our articles. Xtools page prose API gives the number of words, references, unique references and sections in each article. So I've developed a notebook which computes this for all the articles created by a user.<ref>"Look at your list of created articles with the Xtools Page Prose API": https://observablehq.com/@pac02/look-at-your-list-of-created-articles-with-the-xtools-page-ap</ref>

My last tool collects data about the number of revisions, the number of editors, the number of pageviews and the number of watchers for all articles a user has created using xtools articleinfo API.<ref>Look at your list of created articles with the Xtools Page ArticleInfo API: https://observablehq.com/@pac02/look-at-your-list-of-created-articles-with-the-xtools-page-ar</ref>

All my tools are developed in [[JavaScript]] using the Observable platform. Observable is a datavisualization platform created by Melody Meckfessel and [[Mike Bostock]] which makes it very easy to design interactive tools. One shortcoming is that you may experience some timeout errors since my tools rely on a high number of API calls. I can imagine that if you've created more than 2,000 articles, you may have a lot timeout errors. All my work is [[open source]]. andSo anyonefeel canfree to improve it and suggest better solutions. And of course all your feedbacks are greatly appreciated.
