Author[edit]

Search for Author in Wikisource. Try Wikisource:Authors first. We use full names, no initials. {{Initials}} Do a Wikipedia search to find full name. Wikisource:Author_names
If no Author page in Wikisource—Create Author page by inputting link as Author on Index page (edit) i.e.[[Author:Able Body Smith|A. B. Smith]]. See Help:Author pages. Separate multiple authors with a comma. Archive.org may have suggestions for categories. A category assistant on side bar would be helpful. (like wikicommons has in upload wizard)
Author:William Youatt exemplar
Author:Pierre Blot wikidata to do
Publisher: Individual publishers may have a Author page. (Create as for an author, above). Publishing companies have portals on Wikisource. (Create as i.e.[[Portal:Able Body Books]] Both should be in Category:Publishers. As well as info about the publisher (including Works about) and the books they have published (including any on Wikisource), you may find images of their publisher mark. Check Portal:Publishers for the publisher's portal. Try Category:Portals. Unfortunately searching for a publisher's page doesn't work often.

Contents[edit]

  • Contents are formatted to provide links—
—from contents.djvu to pagespace. Use {{dtpl}}{{Dotted TOC page listing|I|[[The Problems of Philosophy/Chapter 1|APPEARANCE AND REALITY]]|djvupage=9|djvupageoffset=4|entry-width=100%|spaces=10}}
—from Index page to pagespace. See Help:Index_pages#Parameters Table of Contents (way down list) (note wtf formatting—would like subheadings). curly bracket individual djvu pages: would be good to do range like transclusion. e.g. {{page:Behemoth 1889.djvu/10}} To be considered: adding additional links i.e. any transcluded pages not in contents e.g. title page, preface, index, glossary, advertisements. Can be added manually as link [[Behemoth/Preface|PREFACE]] {{float right|[[Page:Behemoth_1889.djvu/13|vii]]}}
—from transcluded title/contents to mainspace page

Elegy I Comparative text

and I would like to have the WB book linked to original scan to have that connection to the original text and also to enable proofreading errors to be corrected when they are found. So, looking like a transcluded WS text with links to the pagescans e.g. [13]. Is there a way to do this at WB as it is done for the transcluded WS book?

I would like to work on trying different ways to have the annotations linked to the original text/WB book/transcluded WS text.
