Usage edit

This template is used when the text retains extraneous page numbers which [p. 192] do not belong in the main text body. If the work is scan-based, these should be added to the header/footer of the Page: pages of the scan. If there is no scan, they should be removed completely or commented out <!-- like this -->

{{Numbers}}

Left-over page numbers often accompany other OCR errors, in this case you can use {{OCR-errors}}.

Categorisation edit

This templates categorises pages to Category:Texts with page numbers.

    • {{No source}} the source is unknown and should be identified
    • {{Fidelity}} - used where the text integrity is dubious
    • {{Second-hand}} or {{Project Gutenberg}} when the work comes from a second-hand source (and should preferably be scan-backed instead)

    • {{Clean up scan}} when the work has OCR errors or hasn't been proofread, and does have a page scan
    • {{OCR-errors}} when the work contains OCR errors and/or page breaks and does not have a page scan.
    • {{Transcluded OCR errors}} when the work contains OCR errors from a transcluded page scan.
