“ But a "feature of the week", even if once in a while just one of the sometimes really long encyclopedia articles (the current Britannica's Catholicism article is over 100 pages long in and of itself) or some shorter works, like individual poems or short stories selected for holidays or other events of the week for which they are chosen, might both show more activity and, maybe, a greater diversity of topics. That diversity might itself help to a slight degree. ”

“ I understand that the page Odes of Pindar is just a list of any works called "Odes of Pindar". With regard to whether Odes of Pindar (Paley) and Odes of Pindar (Turner) are anthologies: in my mind there are two possibilities: The Victory Odes are considered a single work. In that case, there needs to be a Translations page called Victory Odes or Epinika or Odes (Pindar) or something. I assume such a page would be somewhere between what is currently at Portal:Odes of Pindar and what is currently at Author:Pindar#Works. Alternatively, we consider each of the odes to be a separate work. ”

“ Because they do not use the Latin alphabet, we can't assume that those languages will display correctly on someone else's computer, where they might not even have a font installed that includes the symbols necessary to show that language. The {{Lang}} template, when told what language is being displayed, makes the selection of the best option for displaying the symbols used in that language, and includes a code that tells the browser which font to use for best results. ”

“ If we treat the Epinikia as a single work, we can list partial translations in a separate section. Too many possible titles is a common issue also and we can easily deal with it by creating lots of redirects and disambig pages. Beleg Tâl (talk) 04:00, 10 October 2017 (UTC) The disambiguation is part of the wrinkle: almost any title we choose for the Translations page is also the specific title of an English translation, so we end up potentially conflating a dab with a translations list. And it's part of why I didn't go ahead with creating a Translations page like I would normally do. ”

“ English is not my first language (but even in my language, those translations help me none) and I am not the only one! I tried to recruit editors from the Gutenberg project in my language and they all went back to it [Gutenberg] , claiming they can't make sense of the way wikisource works. All I can say is that examples (and other users like you) had helped me the most in French, English, and Spanish. GinnevraDubois (talk) 19:21, 12 May 2017 (UTC) @GinnevraDubois: if you send me a link to the page you need help with, I can show you directly how it's done. ”

“ Where a person has high notability and a list of their works is desired, regardless of copyright restrictions to host the works on Wikisource. This means author pages for notable copyrighted authors are allowed. It runs counter to contraindication 3: no works are likely to be hosted at Wikisource. What is your take? Hrishikes (talk) 14:38, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
That pretty much sums up the discussions we had recently at WS:PD (particularly this one) . If an author has no hostable works, we're likely to delete their page, UNLESS they are highly notable, in which case we'll keep them. ”

“ Yes the short vs long s style would apply to the whole page/text. I'm not sure how you'd cope with inconsistent forms, other than hardcoding the long-s versions and rendering without any special cleverness (sigh) ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 19:46, 14 March 2017 (UTC) I'd recommend, in that case, to continue to use {{ls}} and the other templates, but once you have the font component set up you can update the template to use the font-feature instead of swapping code points. ”

“ Getting together a list of sufficient length to start with could probably be done fairly easily if we had individuals working on and maybe nominating pieces of bigger works, like individual poems and articles, short stories, long encyclopedia articles, etc. ”

“ I think the primary consideration is whether the page is likely to be recreated by users not familiar with our policies and consensus. If in doubt, WS:S (for adding) and WS:PD (for removing) are good places to get consensus. —Beleg Tâl (talk) 15:00, 28 May 2017 (UTC)
Status of The Book of the Thousand Nights and One Night You reverted my "announcement" of The Book of the Thousand Nights and One Night in Template:New texts because the book is not proofread. However I consider its quality is probably close, if not better, to a proofread text. ”

“ Do you mean something like what is suggested at Template:Long s/doc#Main namespace ? —Beleg Tâl (talk) 00:24, 15 March 2017 (UTC) That's almost exactly what I had mind for a layout 'option', albiet mine was to do the change as a one-line font-features change somewhere. Hmm.. Maybe s is needed after all if only to do the 'classing'. Could the same approach be used for other paleo forms? ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 11:24, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
Also not to confuse ye with the which can lead to a thorn in the side of people working with certain texts ;) ”

“ If you have Linux (I don't) , you can do it yourself (being admin) with the help of this script: 1, 2. Hrishikes (talk) 02:41, 12 October 2017 (UTC) Ooh, nice. I've been meaning to set up a Linux server and play around with wiki scripting, but I think there's still a ways to go before I get there. Beleg Tâl (talk) 12:18, 12 October 2017 (UTC) Poems of Baudelaire Sturm.djvu It looks as though an extra page has been inserted/removed from the volume. Odd-numbered pages are showing up on even-numbered file pages, which is not a good sign. ”

“ Aside from the capital versions of the above, there is also {{et}} that I know of. I hope that, if you are taking this on, you have a plan to provide for enabling and disabling the display of these archaic forms at will, as was accomplished by User:Inductiveload for the current setup. —Beleg Tâl (talk) 18:47, 14 March 2017 (UTC) hmm - http://www.yourphotocard.com/Ascanius/Gladsmuir.htm# does it dynamically with scripting to change which font features are enabled, could something like that be done under mediawiki? ”

“ Unfortunately, this change means that links to the site, such as the one to The Tale of Little Pig Robinson on the Author:Beatrix Potter page, now just link to the Bibliowiki main page instead of the text where the link was intended to go.
As a Bibliowiki admin, I am asking you, a Wikisource admin, to please do what you can to solve this problem. Thank you. Simon Peter Hughes (talk) 08:03, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
@Simon Peter Hughes: I will initiate the discussions in the appropriate places. Thank you. —Beleg Tâl (talk) 15:17, 4 July 2017 (UTC) Thank you very much! ”

“ Agreed. A very good rationale. — Ineuw talk 20:20, 12 May 2017 (UTC) Author:Svayambhuva I think the name is problematic. Svāyambhuva is not a name, it is just a patronymic and means son of Svayambhu (i.e., Brahmā) . So better to use the full form, Svayambhuva Manu. Hrishikes (talk) 03:51, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
@Hrishikes: You know the mythology better than I; go ahead and fix whatever needs fixing :) —Beleg Tâl (talk) 19:27, 20 May 2017 (UTC) Featured text/December This first link in Template:Featured text/December is a versions page. Normally, we feature specific texts, not versions pages. ”

“ I know that, but having the OTRS slip would be a better argument at Commons, and indicates to the GLAM source that Wikimedia projects take this issue seriously. Asking them to confirm it would remove all doubts. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 16:21, 30 January 2017 (UTC) I don't know anything about OTRS and have no interest in pursuing this. If you want to contact the people, go for it. ”
