Please mark pages proofread in Index:The Algebra of Mohammed Ben Musa (1831).djvu
Hello,

Generally, I would just ask for the not-proofread pages to be marked proofread, having usually checked that things look okay. In this case, I can't really check if the (Persian?) characters have been proofread correctly. They seem fine, to someone who knows nothing much about them. At any rate, if you are happy to bot mark these pages proofread, please do, but if not, I understand.

 * @Jpez I noticed the two files at Commons are the same file, why do you want to move? Just for the filename? Mpaa (talk) 19:55, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
 * @Mpaa Yes just for the filename since there is also one more edition in the public domain I'm aware of that may be added in the future. The new index was added with the year of the edition so I thought it would be better for it to remain out of the two.

Inserting default layout) for the main namespace pages I created

 * This section was archived on a request by: --Xover (talk) 10:25, 7 November 2023 (UTC)

I am requesting to add to each main namespace I created the template. I extracted a list of 10,771 unique titles from the main namespace list of contributions I created, excluding redirects and other anomalies. Is this file useful for this task?&#32;— ineuw (talk) 07:52, 13 May 2023 (UTC)


 * I oppose this change. The default layout should be set based on what the work requires, not who created the page. It's theoretically possible that all the mainspace pages you created are best served by a single given layout, but it seems very improbable. In other words, this request appears to in effect be more about what your personal layout preference is than what the texts and our readers require. Xover (talk) 08:07, 13 May 2023 (UTC)

I'm working on RunningHeader and RunningHeader-centered, and it would make my life a lot easier if Category:Running headers applying manual styles had fewer pages and I could tell more easily which pages are using the parameter.

Add R from case citation to all redirects from case citations to cases

 * This section was archived on a request by: --Xover (talk) 06:02, 10 November 2023 (UTC)

Would it be possible for a bot to detect redirects pointing from a case citation (e.g. 347 U.S. 483) to a case (here, Brown v. Board of Education), and add R from case citation to these. It would be useful to have all case citations in one category, given the obvious utility of Wikisource as a caselaw database for lawyers. BD2412 T 04:25, 24 May 2021 (UTC)


 * @BD2412: What's the identifying feature of a case page? Is it in a particular category? Does it contain a unique template? Once identified, should all redirects to these be so tagged, or only a subset of them? Do the redirects to these have a distinguishing feature to identify them as distinct from all other redirects on the site?Adding a category to a set of pages is pretty straightforward, so the challenge is how to identify those pages automatically. Doing something to one page (the redirect) based on properties of another page (the actual case page) can also be challenging depending on the details (it may require writing a custom bot rather than just running one of the existing scripts for pywikibot).Also, how many of these are there? If the criteria are complex, and the number of pages relatively low, it may be better to do it manually or semi-automated (a user script in the browser that finds and tags redirects to the current page on request, say). Xover (talk) 04:06, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I have been thinking about exactly those issues. I don't know that we have any case citation redirects from non-U.S. cases, so the group to start with would be documents in the category tree under Category:United States case law by court. The redirects themselves will all be in a [Number] [Reporter] [Number] format, so for example the first page of results from a search for pages starting with "1" is almost entirely redirects to cases (everything from 100 L.Ed. 1003 on, with a few exceptions). So, anything in that format redirecting to something in that category tree should be a case citation redirect. I would also note that a great many of these were generated by User:BenchBot when that bot was active, and just counting those from the bot's contributions, there are over 9,000. I suppose I could do those manually, or use BD2412bot, but that will leave stray case citation redirects added by others. BD2412  T 04:25, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I am doing some manually to see if there are any hitches that come up that way. BD2412  T 19:30, 25 May 2021 (UTC)
 * @BD2412: I have to admit I completely forgot about this request. Sorry. If the page selection logic is "Check all pages in Category:United States case law by court for incoming redirects, and pick the redirects whose page name matches [Number] [Reporter] [Number]" then I think it's probably doable. It's going to require writing a custom bot though, which I've not yet done so I'd need to find time for both the bot coding and the learning curve (which means it'll be a while before I might tackle it). is vastly more skilled than me in this area though, so perhaps they could be persuaded to help?Hmm. Or possibly there is a Toolforge tool for querying the wikis for pages that match these criteria? Once we have the list of redirects adding the template to all of them is trivial; it's getting the list of pages (redirects) that's a little bit challenging. Quarry maybe? That'll need understanding SQL JOINs, which make my head hurt, but should be doable for someone with a bit of DBA in their mix. PetScan is also often great for this kind of thing, but I don't think it can be query for incoming redirects like this. Hmm. And you could probably do this on-wiki in JavaScript too, come to think of it. Xover (talk) 06:26, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I believe I did most of these manually at some point. Still, there will always be new ones. BD2412  T 06:32, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Oh, ok. Should we consider this request resolved then (so it'll get archived)? Or were you looking for a permanent bot task to do this automatically as new cases are added? Xover (talk) 06:45, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
 * A bot to pick these up as new cases or added would be nice. I don't think I could track that manually. BD2412  T 19:01, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
 * @BD2412, @Xover
 * To summarize:
 * 1. walk recursively Category:United States case law by court
 * 2. find redirects that point to pages in above categoryies
 * 3. if redirect title matches  and does not contain R from case citation, append it
 * I made a test for some articles in Category:United States Supreme Court decisions in Volume 107.
 * Are these edits OK? Mpaa (talk) 22:46, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
 * yes, those are absolutely correct. BD2412  T 23:04, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
 * @BD2412 ongoing. This query gives pages pointed by a redirect matching the regex but not yet tagged with . From here there are several possibilities to ensure they are pages of interest. I intersected them with pages belonging to (subcategories of) "Category:United States case law by court". Mpaa (talk) 21:20, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
 * Done. Mpaa (talk) 21:04, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

Convert Template:Chapter heading to Template:Pseudoheading
As discussed here, I'm working on updating some of the heading templates. These are uses of chapter heading in the Page namespace, with no additional parameters, where I've already set up the index to use pseudoheading and maintain the same styles: https://petscan.wmflabs.org/?psid=24006062. I would really appreciate it if, in the pages listed in the petscan,  and   could be replaced with. Thanks! —CalendulaAsteraceae (talk • contribs) 05:36, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Not certain why we are doing any of this? template:chapter heading is not something that the community has had any consensus to do, and I would propose that it is out of sync with WS:Style guide and the presentation of text and the use of display layers. and peoples ability to have their own CSS as they require. Text is king. — billinghurst  sDrewth  21:34, 7 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @Billinghurst, I'm having trouble parsing this. I understand that you're raising concerns about my approach to template creation and/or use, and I would like to understand your concerns better so I can respond appropriately. In particular, is there a verb missing from the beginning of "template:chapter heading is not something that the community has had any consensus to do"?
 * My understanding had been that templates like, which are designed for use with index CSS, are essentially meant to be an alternative to layering formatting templates like in cases where there's consistent formatting throughout a work. Personally, when I'm proofreading a work, I prefer index styles when there's repeated formatting throughout a work and I might change my mind partway through about what that formatting should be (like if I notice that those smaller all-caps lines were actually regular-sized all-small-caps). Is this understanding missing something?
 * I'm not clear on what "display layers" means in this context, nor on what you're saying interferes with people's ability to have their own CSS. I wouldn't expect inline styles vs. CSS to make much of a difference in that regard, so again, I'm probably missing something here. (And that something may be experience customizing websites' CSS beyond making minor improvements with Stylus.) —CalendulaAsteraceae (talk • contribs) 08:08, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @Billinghurst, @CalendulaAsteraceae what's the forward here? The approach looks reasonable to me, the only unclear thing is if, after this, the intention is to kill chapter heading. Mpaa (talk) 19:01, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
 * @Mpaa: I for one would like to either kill chapter heading (after making sure it's unused) or convert it to a pseudoheading derivative without all the manual style parameters (after making sure Category:Chapter heading usage with manual styles is empty, which it currently is apart from the documentation). Really the only visible difference between ch and ph/main is the margins. —CalendulaAsteraceae (talk • contribs) 20:40, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

Index:Vasari - Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects, volume 1.djvu
A newcomer had been adding wdl template usages throughout the work. These need to be removed from all Page: uses, both the template and Q-id. --EncycloPetey (talk) 19:57, 4 December 2023 (UTC)


 * @EncycloPetey What is the rationale? On the template page itself there is no mention of proper or improper use. Is it because it can be considered overlinking in this case? If so, a mention about proper usage on the template page might be needed. Mpaa (talk) 21:51, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * The rationale is Annotations. Links to Wikidata are not permitted links.  I agree, we need more people documenting the correct use of templates, as most of our templates have little to no guidance on proper and improper use. --EncycloPetey (talk) 23:55, 4 December 2023 (UTC)
 * That was a lot of work. I left a note on the talk page and saved the annotations if someone is going to need them. I will run the bot in the coming days. Mpaa (talk) 22:19, 6 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Ugh, and that's rather a lot of work by the contributor, which looks like pretty good quality too from what little I looked, so it's a crying shame to lose it. Makes me think we should look into ways to facilitate "invisible" annotations of this sort, but I suspect anything we could actually do just now would be infeasible in practice. Xover (talk) 06:06, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, exactly. That is why I saved it before deleting it. Regarding visibility, there was some talk about it in the template talk page and in Template:Wikidata_link/styles.css. Maybe it is not a feature that is too complex to add (for those who know how to play with gadgets and .js, i.e. not me). Mpaa (talk) 20:22, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Links to Wikidata where done onside a University of Florence. Italy, project whose students worked initially on french Wikisource e than on e.wikisource, learning to correct texts on Wikisource and create items on Wikidata. Susanna Giaccai (talk) 09:45, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
 * @EncycloPetey @Giaccai I can't understand this issue. I appeciate as lot the idea of Wdl template, since it usually outputs robust dynamic wikisource or wikipedia links that can't be broken by an edit of wikisource or wikipedia page names (and linking to an editable field is a terrible database mistake!). IMHO this is an excellent feature. When the template links to a wikidata item, it simply encourage any willing user to create a needed wikisource or wikipedia page. I can't see anything wrong into this template behaviour. Alex brollo (talk) 09:54, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
 * @Alex brollo: The links were against our linking policy. Links, in general, are treated like annotations on enWS, and hence the linking policy only permits a very controlled subset of links. In this particular case the links were to things like historical personages, places, structures, concepts, etc. Those are appropriate links for a Wikipedia article, but not for a text reproduced on Wikisource (I mean enWS here; other languages will obviously have their own policies and practices around this). In essence, we permit links to authors (people who have or should have an Author:-namespace page on enWS) and works (anything that is or could be hosted on enWS), plus a very limited set of Wikitionary links. Even permitting very restricted linking to authors on enWP was controversial the last time we had a discussion, and there is a general fear of overlinking (we've had some egregious examples). Xover (talk) 12:53, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
 * @Xover @Giaccai Thanks, I realize that overlinking could be a problem. Nevertheless, IMHO I think that Wdl is appropriate for links to Authors, and to Works, even when the resulting link points to Wikidata. Alex brollo (talk) 17:02, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
 * In a footnote or bibliography, this makes sense, because the work is pointing the reader to that author or source. But in the middle of a paragraph, it (a) becomes a visual distraction, and (b) creates problems for people reading with touch-screens, who inadvertently open links and leave the text without meaning to.  It's as much an accessibility issue as it is aesthetic. --EncycloPetey (talk) 17:50, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

 * For the Index: page there is also the available "even" and "odd" syntax that enables one to mark the pages as you require, see mul:Wikisource:ProofreadPage.
 * Noting that we can just mark the empty page as empty, and have no need to do anything with them, neither mark them without text, and this way any transclusion will just ignore them as they don't exist.

Please convert any remaining curly quotes to straight quotes in Index:Harmonium - Wallace Stevens.djvu

I think I got most of them, but just in case. If there is an easy way for a user to search for these, without a bot request, please let me know. Thanks, TeysaKarlov (talk) 02:39, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
 * The search engines are no use as they unfortunately treat them as equivalent. Once transcluded you can do a find through your browser as it sees then as different. Personally, I have a text replacement regex script (running through the TemplateScript framework and seen at enWS as the gadget "regex editor") that I run when editing the pages. — billinghurst  sDrewth  03:04, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
 * If you're working without scripts or bots, you can transclude the entire text to a temporary Sandbox in your User space. Then search using your browser, with "match diacritic" turned on if you're in Firefox (or the equivalent in another browser).  You'd need to search separately for left and right single quotes, and left and right double quotes, then manually edit individual pages from another tab, but it will let you find all of them. -EncycloPetey (talk) 03:11, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
 * @Billinghurst, @EncycloPetey. Thanks both for the tips. At this point, I was looking for something after the text is already transcluded, so I went with EncyloPetey's approach. Admittedly, I couldn't match diacritics with chrome by default (there might be an extension), but after checking by eye, I could copy-paste into notepad and have it check left and right singles and doubles there. Thanks again, and feel free to mark this section resolved. TeysaKarlov (talk) 04:06, 23 December 2023 (UTC)
 * @TeysaKarlov: There are ways to search for these, but none of the ways are easy for any relevant definition of the term. But if you have big jobs such as this in future, do feel free to request a bot run to replace them. I just checked using one of them and there appear to be no curly quotes left in that work.

One more CIA World Fact Book, 2004 request
This one's a bit more complicated than my previous request. I'm working on doing the styles with templates and CSS classes. Fortunately, the users who worked on these pages have been remarkably consistent with the formatting markup, so it's pretty easy to update with find and replace (I've done a couple pages). The replacements I'd like for each subpage, in order, are:

Replace

For clarity,  are placeholders, and a blank line at the end of a code block means to include the ending linebreak in the pattern. Thanks! —CalendulaAsteraceae (talk • contribs) 05:17, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Is there a reason why (e.g.) CIA World Fact Book, 2004/Western Sahara no longer has the bold markup it used to have? —Justin ( koavf ) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 16:57, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * @Koavf: Only that CalendulaAsteraceae has apparently not added that styling yet. Xover (talk) 17:19, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * @Xover: I think your script replaced table headers with table cells; cf..
 * Also, if I could request one more replacement, could you change  to  ? —CalendulaAsteraceae (talk • contribs) 17:24, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * @CalendulaAsteraceae: Bleh. Yeah, when cutting and pasting I mentally "merged" those two patterns, which is why the header got converted to "||" and the second one wasn't replaced at all. So it turns out, Koavf, that there was a reason, and that reason was me being a dummy.Sigh. I don't think there's any sane way I can detect the now-broken headers, so I'm probably going to have to figure out a way to mass-revert all these changes, and then reapply them with the corrected replacements. Never done that before, so this'll be fun. Xover (talk) 17:58, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * @CalendulaAsteraceae: Ok, now, gosh darn it, now it should be ✅. I hope, because the mass revert script is really dumb and I really really don't wanna have to go back for a third try. ;) Xover (talk) 20:24, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
