Maybe straighten all? — Alien 3

What should be done after all? So far I've seen quotes on pages 55 and 57. — TheBoxThinker (talk) 20:18, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

Collaborative works are always done with straight quotes per policy. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 03:51, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

yeah, i've been straightening them during validation, since there was no declaration of style. I assumed default = straight, unless declaration/consensus otherwise. Just Al (talk) 20:51, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

@Alien333 - Wow, how are you finding these numbers? I've straightened on all the pages I've validated. Is there a good way to search the whole book? Just Al (talk) 18:08, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

On wikimedia sites, mw:extension:CirrusSearch allows you to use a variant of w:regular expressions to search through the sources and/or titles of pages. For example, if I want to find US patents, with no false positive, I can use the search intitle:/United States patent [0-9]+/.

For quotes specifically, it's Page: intitle:"The cat. Its natural history, varieties, and management.djvu" insource:/\"\'/ versus Page: intitle:"The cat. Its natural history, varieties, and management.djvu" insource:/”“‘’/ (using /regular expressions/ as opposed to "strings" is mandatory when you want to match well non-letter characters. For example, a while ago I wanted to find ¢s to locate OCR errors.) — Alien 3

Straightened all I could find. Sorry, can't use that search method...I have a vanilla computer that can't be modified. Just Al (talk) 18:15, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

You don't have to do anything, it's included in the website search. Try typing Page: intitle:"The cat. Its natural history, varieties, and management.djvu" insource:/test/ into the search bar at the top of all pages, click "search for pages containing ..." and then it works. (I replaced the curly quotes by test for demonstration, as there are no curly quotes anymore.) — Alien 3

Thanks! I'm saving this to my page so I can use it more often. Just Al (talk) 20:04, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

In general, I highly recommend getting to know CirrusSearch and Regexes. They are very powerful tools, that I've found very useful many times. Notably, when editing, if you click on "Advanced" in the editing toolbar (might need to enable it in your settings), you can perform search-and-replace with regexes, allowing to speed up many repetitive tasks. — Alien 3
