Annotation Types

What this is: This is working document to collaborate in creating a list of annotation "types". It arose from a Scriptorium discussion as part of the eventual process of creating a Vote in order to determine the status (existence) of annotations at Wikisource. This not a voting page or a place to discuss the pros and cons of annotations. It is a reference list of all the types of annotations currently (or possibly) on Wikisource. It is also partly a discovery process and the more annotation types we find the better. Please feel free to contribute.
