• Check for mistakes I may have introduced:
  • Check no comments have been formatted incorrectly
    • Check for <, >, --.
    • Check for { and {{, } and }}, |.
  • Check no names of templates appear in the text
  • Check all ᶇ and all ŋ to make sure correct one is selected.
  • Check all i inside square brackets shouldn't be ɩ
  • Check for j adjacent to a palatalised character, j probably shouldn't be there
  • Check that if a phonetics word has ꞏꞏ, it should have another singular ꞏ elsewhere.
  • Check for numerals directly adjacent to letters (without any templates)
  • Check capitalisation of roman numerals in footers for each signature (should be capitalised)
  • Check all running headers have a ditto template to account for width of page number
    • Make sure the ditto has the last pipe so it doesn't display ditto marks
  • Template:nobr used for any words that start with a hyphen
    • Also any that end with a hyphen and then punctuation marks
    • Also any words that contain superscript hyphens
    • Also any words that contain superscript spaces(?)
    • Decide whether nobr should be used in words with brackets that are formatted like this: (prefix-)root
      • nobr around whole thing, or a zero-width space after the closing bracket so it can break, just not between the hyphen and the bracket?
  • Check spacing around ellipsis
• Check spacing of pages, e.g. rules between paragraphs
• Check for mistakes introduced through transclusion
• Go through all comments and check for:
  • Links to add
    • "see"
    • "cf."
    • "in Dictionary"
  • Hyphenation
    • place-names, not placenames
    • to-day, not today
  • Mistakes to be marked with Template:SIC
  • All other comments
  • Decide spelling of Quarff (one or two fs; keep in mind nornabr as well)
• Search for any abbreviations that have missed being placed into Template:Nornabr or Template:Nornabrn using the lists in their switch subtemplates.
• Make explicit versions of abbreviations in nornabr with following question marks included.
• Search for words that have full stops at the end that are not wrapped with Template:Nornabr to check they aren't abbreviations as well.
• Search for characters by frequency; see if there are mistakes for chars used only a small number of times.
• Mark any abbreviations without full stops with Template:SIC
• Check phonetics for any doubled-up letters, which as far as I understand it should not occur except for åå.
• Check all the errata have been accounted for in the text.
• Specifically spellcheck all the bold entries in the dictionary
• Set up wikipages for each entry in the dictionary.
• Try adding automatic linking to Template:Nornsp, with another parameter to turn off the link?
  • Go through all red links and fix or remove the links.
• Add Template:Lang to all appropriate places.
  • Determine where all those places are - any word in another language?
  • Determine which Norwegian words are Bokmål or Nynorsk.
• Add Template:Shy to all appropriate places.
  • Is it appropriate anywhere?
  • Insert Template:Shy in the following context: phra·{{shy}}ses, as these are guaranteed syllable boundaries. Note there must be letters after the · as it would be problematic if only punctuation came afterward
• See if a Jakobsen phonetics -> IPA template would work
  • If so, put all phonetics in templates.
• Categorise individual words
  • by lexical category
  • by geography
  • by asterisk or dagger
  • by stress pattern
  • by cognate language
• Consider adding links to Wiktionary & Wikipedia?
• Speak to Project Gutenberg / Distributed Proofreaders and see if they'd like a copy
  • Ask about CC-BY.
  • Ask about Unicode i̇̄
  • Ask about Unicode ꬶ
  • Ask about Template:Sup vs Unicode superscript
    • Should phonetics be formatted differently compared to other uses?
  • Ask about Unicode Roman numerals
  • Ask about Greek chars
  • Ask about italicisation of punctuation (this transcription for the most part matched the book which itself is inconsistent, however hopefully a few regexes can fix any issues)

Repeat all the above for 2nd volume.
