Some bits edit

Welcome to the DNB project, it is one of our quality and successful projects. You have picked up some of our peculiarities quickly, and I have seen that you have quickly found your way into our Page: namespace, and are proofing. Which is excellent. Do feel that you are able entitled and qualified to progress the proofreading progress of a work to AMBER or once proofread onto GREEN.

I would also like to point you to {{hyphenated word start}} which I have used on Page:Dictionary of National Biography volume 60.djvu/75 and {{hyphenated word end}} which I used on the subsequent page to manage the end of page hyphenation. While we do not intend to preserve the word break hyphenation on a page, we do try to maintain it at the end for proofreading.

Again, welcome. — billinghurst sDrewth 23:57, 25 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

and this bit ...

The mysterious Header toggle button edit

When proofreading in the Page: namespace and one has their toolbar turned on [Gadgets | Editing (tab) | Editing toolbar (checkbox)], one will see the button  , and clicking it toggles the header/footer on and off. In this space we put the relevant components for top and bottoms of pages by use of the template {{RunningHeader}}, so for example {{RunningHeader|Stanhope|3|Stanhope}} produces

Stanhope
3
Stanhope

I personally have my header/footer set to open in the Page: namespace and I achieved this by activating that option in my Gadgets. — billinghurst sDrewth 23:57, 25 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Yep, sections need a begin and end per page edit

Sections are a little quirky, as you have found you need a begin and end tag. There is some older information about sections at Wikisource:labeled section transclusion and the more updated, though somewhat more generic, at mw:Extension:Labeled Section Transclusion. — billinghurst sDrewth 04:00, 11 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

The Signal edit

Thank you for The Signal by Garshin! He is a great but unfamiliar Russian author with unfortunate fate. If you need help with Russian, write at ru:Викитека:Вавилонский форум. -- Sergey kudryavtsev (talk) 21:56, 27 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

PD templates in the poems of Late Lyrics and Earlier, With Many Other Verses edit

It's probably not a good idea to put a PD tag for each poem in this collection, because they're all made by the same author, and they're subpages of the collection. If it was a collection of poems by different authors, a PD tag for each would make sense, but in this case it does not.

Also I think block centering for poems is preferred, although I don't know what the community consensus is on that issue. PseudoSkull (talk) 20:12, 18 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

@PseudoSkull: ok i will remove the PD tag. I didn't know that. If the poem is centered on the scan, I use the center block, but I don't know also what is recommended. Tommy J. (talk) 20:30, 18 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Without text and transclusion edit

Hi, if a page is marked as without text, it's ignored in transclusion and creating ebooks. If the image page you marked as "without text" is wanted in the presentation version, then it needs to be marked as Proofread and then Validated. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 01:10, 11 October 2021 (UTC)Reply
