Template:Second-hand
 | This work was transcribed or copied from a transcription of the original, rather than the original itself. It therefore has second-hand provenance. You can improve the provenance of this work by transcribing a scan, or proofing it against a hardcopy, of the original work. Once this is complete, update the textinfo message, and remove this message. |
Usage
editAdd this template to the talk pages of any work that has been copied from a transcription rather than the primary source (such as texts copied from other online digital libraries).
Wikisource may be repeating errors made by the original transcribers or otherwise not necessarily presenting an accurate text. This template provides this information to the reader and adds a tracking category.
Parameters
edit- scan: A link to a scan (external or as an Index page) of the work
- notes: Additional notes
Example
{{Second-hand
| notes = These are notes
| scan = [[Index:Lange - The Blue Fairy Book.djvu]]
