Wikisource has many thing that need doing. Here a a few:

General things

[edit]
  • Missing authors. Phe has created a list of authors link to, but which don't have pages.
  • Generate a list of Wikisource: pages that should be in the Portal: namespace.

Specific works

[edit]

Hierarchy fixes

[edit]

Having a tidy hierarchy is very helpful when trying to perform maintenance (e.g. if a page is moved, all subpages can be moved too). Many of our works don't have tidy hierarchies.

  • DNB00: create hierarchy. E.g. "Smith, John (DNB00)" should be "Dictionary of National Biography (1900)/Smith, John". This is another enormous work, and care needs to be taken to carefully update links.
  • Ante-Nicene Fathers: fix hierarchy. E.g. "Ante-Nicene Fathers/Volume I/BARNABAS/The Epistle of Barnabas/Chapter XX." should be "Ante-Nicene Fathers/Volume 1/Barnabas/The Epistle of Barnabas/Chapter 20". This is a very large work, and a lot of checking should be done to catch and change links.
