Future changes
The developers are planning more ways to block users. This could be blocking someone from just a page or a namespace. You can read more. You can leave feedback on the talk page. ”

“ If the person in question is a published author, then we create an Author page in the Author namespace, and list the item under "Works about Arkwright". (2) Otherwise, you can create a data item for the obituary, and link the obituary's data item to the subject's data item using the Wikidata property "described by source". (3) There is also a {{wikisource-inline}} template on Wikipedia that allows for the listing of individual Wikisource works in the References or External links section. ”

“ This gives correct presentation in the Page:-namespace, even if the underlying markup is technically incorrect, and doesn't affect the main namespace (because the mainspace content is taken from the following {{hwe}}) . There are, however, other things that trigger this (or possibly a similar bug) , mainly variations of cross-page formatting markup. In my case I have long multi-page quotes offset using {{margin left}} + {{smaller block}}, both in start+end-tag mode ({{div end}} in the footer, and on the page where the quote ends) . ”

“ Since it is a known defect in webkit's implementation of offsetTop, then it stands to reason there are workarounds that can be implemented in a cross-browser fashion, if not by browser sniffing then possibly via another mechanism. ”

“ The construct currently used when two pages are are transcluded together is ​ The is the default configured page separator for the ProofreadPage-extension. I'm not entirely clear on where the spans come from, or why there are two of them, but the main problem is that both of them are empty. When inline elements are empty browsers tend to calculate a layout box for them that is 0 pixels high and 0 pixels wide: that is, a dimensionless point. ”

“ But it also works fine as a general invisible marker: in the rendered page it is invisible, but gets a text box that's 1px wide and font sizepx high. [1] Since it now has dimensions the layout engines treat it as part of the normal flow, and we will avoid all the weirdness that comes with empty inline elements. Depending on what particular bit of code is inserting those spans, the (proposed, must be tested) solution is either to add a ​ in the innermost span there, or to make the PageNumbers.js script add it dynamically before getting their positions. ”

“ Visual Editor There is most likely an issue with Visual Editor (see Wikisource:Scriptorium/Help#Wuthering_Heights discussion and related bug) . I think we should consider to stop using it for now as (some) pages will need rework. In pl.ws they decided to block such breaking VE edits using AbuseFilter (see my talk page discussion) .— Mpaa (talk) 15:32, 18 August 2018 (UTC)
Is it the VE itself? I see that this page has a double "to be proofread" header, and I see this quite a lot on pages. ”

“ Is the height measured from the top of the highest ascender (on the "h" say) to the lowest descender (on the "j") ? Or from the baseline to the highest ascender? And there's the concept of "x-height", the size of the character "x", and an "em", the width of the character "m". This topic would make for a pretty beefy chapter, or even two, in a book on typography, and I've only barely scratched the surface. List of broken links from Wikipedia to Wikisource In my profile: User:Uziel302 I put a list of 340 broken links from Wikipedia to Wikisource, any help fixing those links is much appreciated. ”

“ We've usually considered changing the proofread status to be a highly significant change, implying a user proofreading against a scanned text. I don't see why a bot would need to mark proofread status. --EncycloPetey (talk) 02:47, 13 August 2018 (UTC) Proofreading against a scan can be done manually offline. The result can be uploaded in bulk via API instead of the standard page-by-page web interface. The bot is just like a CLI tool to post content.— Mpaa (talk) 08:37, 13 August 2018 (UTC) Mpaa, can PageQuality be applied through the API? ”

“ Since it doesn't seem anyone is really working the backlog in the files for fixing (there's some easy stuff in here I marked for fixing five years ago and nobody's touched since) , I think this isn't an altogether safe workflow to rely on. The First Series of Hymns isn't even categorized into the Indices with Missing Pages category, so it's invisible. Easily fixed by adding the template, true. But the point is that this isn't on anyone's radar for addressing. --Mukkakukaku (talk) 18:24, 17 August 2018 (UTC) It is always a qualitative call, and we often make those calls. ”

“ For most works, the shape of an "s" in the text is irrelevant. --EncycloPetey (talk) 15:08, 9 August 2018 (UTC) It's marginally orthography; it's as much typography. When G.W. revised English orthography in Magazine, he left the long-s as is. When the long-s was dropped, nothing else in English changed. It's more a part of certain font styles than actual orthography.--Prosfilaes (talk) 00:45, 10 August 2018 (UTC) Handwritten text is not a matter of typography; it does not involve the setting of type. ”

“ And it looks like that factor is this: when {{hyphenated word start}} is used, there is a space character before it, and that shows up in the generated HTML before the page marker (which won't be there for non-{{hws}} pages) . That single space character appears to be what triggers the Webkit .offsetTop bug. To wit: I removed the space before {{hws}} on page 19 in the Page:-namespace, and lo and behold, now the page number for page 19 shows up properly in mainspace. I have no idea what to do about this (cry? laugh hysterically? take up fishing?) ”

“ I would recommend using the {{ls}} template: this renders as s in page space and s in mainspace, but there is a script to let users choose how they see the template. BethNaught (talk) 13:35, 9 August 2018 (UTC) While there is opinion, the community's consensus is that the output in the main namespace should typically be "s", unless the work requires the production of it; covered in Wikisource:Style guide/Orthography. BethNaught mentions an option for Page: ns production, with options. ”

“ If you change the title field from " [ [Her Benny] ] " to " [ [User:Pigsonthewing/Sandbox] ] " then it would include those floating page numbers that hi-lite the text. I don't think you can have it present on more than one page. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong here. —Justin (koavf) ❤T☮C☺M☯ 17:50, 28 August 2018 (UTC) @Pigsonthewing: the javascript for page numbering is a main namespace feature. — billinghurst sDrewth 22:36, 28 August 2018 (UTC) @Billinghurst: If it's JavaScript, could it be made available as a gadget, or even a user script? It would be immensely useful. ”

“ Commons does not necessarily delete such files. Please see c:Commons:Deletion requests/Google books with Google first page -- Hrishikes (talk) 02:56, 13 August 2018 (UTC) That deletion discussion is weird. The conclusion is "delete" but the rationale provided is "Public Domain no matter what Google claims. Faithful repro doesn't create new copyright. Just a generic page added." ... Either way. I'm marking those files as needing fixing. ”

“ See also https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T201904 .— Mpaa (talk) 15:32, 15 August 2018 (UTC) Unable to change status of What Can I Do^ - NARA - 534471.jpg Yesterday I had a go at proofing Page:What Can I Do^ - NARA - 534471.jpg, however it doesn't appear to be associated with an index, so I am unable to change the pages status from "To be Proofread" to "To be Validated." ”

“ Because the text was copy-pasted from Gutenberg, then matched-and-split, instead of being proofread from the source scan. --15:17, 13 August 2018 (UTC) And also because the correct syntax for images is [ [File:PictureName.jpg] ] and the correct syntax for
does not have a space after < —Beleg Tâl (talk) 15:24, 13 August 2018 (UTC) ok. i tend to replace missing image with raw image, to encourage crops. and then use crop tool and FI template. did your one example. the bot of page creations are nice, but it needs improvement / copyediting for hard things like image formating. ”

“ No, that would be a cross namespace redirect, and wikis don't do it. Portal is a content namespace, and Wikisource is not. — billinghurst sDrewth 22:54, 22 August 2018 (UTC) Just found a better query for these broken links, updated my page to include over 5,000 broken links. Uziel302 (talk) 08:02, 24 August 2018 (UTC) Bunch of those aren't actually intentional links to Wikisource. They're trying to link to articles about Swedish tv shows, churches, etc. ”
