For users (not moderators) who have more than 10,000 reputation and who have access to o moderator tools why doesn't exist a link for tools at the top of Ask Ubuntu site?
How can we have it there? I found here that the moderators have it.

What's wrong with the usual way for non-moderators to access the 10k tools? (Click review, then click tools on the left.)– Eliah KaganCommented Sep 8, 2013 at 17:28

@EliahKagan There is nothing wrong, but wouldn't be simpler just one click instead of two (this is what I think, sorry if I'm wrong)?– Radu RădeanuCommented Sep 8, 2013 at 17:53

1I agree, actually. I was just wondering if there was a problem; I agree that it would be best for a tools link to be added, though it's not a high-priority feature.– Eliah KaganCommented Sep 8, 2013 at 17:55

The /tools link was removed some time ago (that screenshot is from Jan '12) , and /review is there in its place.
The whole point of the feature is to make it easier for mods/editors to find stuff that might be worth checking out, and /review is more efficient at that, so it gets a prime spot at the top.
I can't understand why regular users are denied to have a link for tools there, since the link can be accessed anyway at http://www.askubuntu.com/tools.
But, I just made the following userscript that can be helpful in this sense:
// ==UserScript==
// @name Tools link for Ask Ubuntu
// @version 0.1
// @match http://askubuntu.com/*
// ==/UserScript==
// --- add "tools" link in front of "review" link
var reviewLink = document.querySelector ("a[href='/review']");
var toolsLink = document.createElement ();
toolsLink.innerHTML = '<a href="/tools">tools</a> <span class="lsep">|</span> ';
reviewLink.parentNode.insertBefore(toolsLink, reviewLink);
Also, this userscript can be found at:
The script need to be installed in the browser as follow:
- Chromium / Chrome users need TamperMonkey.
- Firefox users need GreaseMonkey.
More about: http://userscripts.org/about/installing.
It will look something like this:
