“ I only became aware of the footer initials template recently. I added it to my User:Diverman page — where I have a few templates/tips for myself — shortly before your note. I'll make use of it. For me, the best tip I read was one recently was to use the EB1911 text from Project Gutenberg (I right-click and choose "View Page Source") for use in the Wikisource EB1911 pages. I recorded a couple of macros in Notepad++ to automate the conversion of the HTML tags for: ’ ” italic words etc. into: ' ” ''italic words''. ”

“ I think the longer-term fix (if it’s an issue on some browsers) would be to edit "Template:EB1911 contributor table/entry" and change the width of the subjects column — it’s currently at 15em. (I think the Initials column also needs widening slightly as some four-letter initials do wrap-around; I have used the thinspace work-around on some of those.) I’ll take a look, I think I can use a width like 15.5em. Keep up the good work! ”

“ It looks like many of these EB1911 articles are already transcluded. Any that aren't will be transcluded at some stage. In nearly all cases, Gutenberg text has been used to help proof the article, not just a straight copy. ”

“ As an admin, I am able to edit your Special:MyPage/common.js file and can load some of these instances if that is helpful to you. — billinghurst sDrewth 11:34, 22 August 2012 (UTC) I have moved forward (if I understand your statements) and put in place the regex text components, and you will need to turn on your regex gadget. To see and use these components, when you edit you will see grey clickable text on the left had side of the edit pane, beneath the sidebar. Some are designed solely for certain namespace. ”

“ And WS:MOS is the master consensus. I was happy with curly apostrophes (they are really easy to enter using the Win8 onscreen keyboard) but MOS seems to trend against them. My current rules are: no extraneous space markup, straight apos but curly quotes, polytonic for Greek. Feel free to enter the discussion. ”

“ I start with a CSV file that has the person's name and djvu page numbers. So when I proofread pages, I paste the data in Excel, then do a little massaging, save the CSV file and pass that as a parameter to the script. Then it auto-generates the text (one per entry) that transcludes that person's info. Then I paste that into Wikisource. Diverman (talk) 07:44, 11 September 2012 (UTC) Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets check the box for the text "Add a sidebar menu of user-defined regex tools, with a dynamic form for instant one-use regex (documentation) ." and save it. ”

“ Just a quick note: the HTML attribute align=center in tables is deprecated and can cause problems, for example in rendering engines that only use the modern CSS constructs. It's better to use the CSS style style="margin:auto;" ”

“ You were using a much older version called regex menu framework, so you should notice a lot of improvements. A few of the big changes:
Let me know if anything breaks. :) —Pathoschild 16:37, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
most templates don't handle an equals With templates if you need to use an equals, then you need to do a little work with the sign. Either use the template {{=}} (and look how I have to do that in the code) or force the positional parameter, {{smaller|1=sometimes you need to force an = sign}} eg. sometimes you need to force an = sign. ”

“ I believe it is best to be consistent in EB1911 and use curly apostrophes throughout (this matches the look of the printed page and is also in line with the decision to use curly double quotes) . DivermanAU (talk) 11:19, 14 March 2022 (UTC) I've no particular opinion on the straight/curly issue for EB1911, but just as a "FYI" we generally do not use "fancy" characters (like curly quotes) in page names and, by extension, in file names. ”

“ The difference between the Page: view and edit view is how I determine something is a header/footer generated error BTW. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) Also you have to load it directly outside of other functions IIRC, See my common.js ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 06:18, 26 May 2022 (UTC) Thanks @ShakespeareFan00:, that worked! I copied the lintHint lines from your common.js. Now it shows when I edit a "page" — although it incorrectly displays a "Missing end tag" warning if I have {{EB1911 fine print/s}} in the Page body and {{EB1911 fine print/e}} in the Footer. ”

“ In the example you gave the page number is 366 and with three numerals, a spacing of 1.6 ems is almost exactly {em|1.6} (using the {{em}} template) . I used a plain space and an emspace as a good approximation without using another template on that page. If it's a single-digit page number, an enspace is a good approximation; emspace for two-digits. And, of course, depending on whether the page is the left-hand or right-hand side, the spacing is parameter 1 or 4. DivermanAU (talk) 01:28, 10 September 2020 (UTC) align=center in tables Hi! ”

“ Both names are slightly misleading. "Greek" is easier to type. "Polytonic" seems to imply "use polytonic characters" but actually the character code determines that. It's really "use the font that was conventional during the time before Monotonic became standard in Greece". DavidBrooks (talk) 13:50, 30 June 2015 (UTC) EB1911 Fine Print size

“ Hi Slowking4, thanks also for your work on EB1911. Who is the admin on Wikipedia reverting your edits? Maybe I'll have a quiet work with them.
