Proofreading from scans
[edit]Hi. If you are utilising a scan at archive.org, there is a robust methodology to upload a scan and proofread side-by-side. There are some links above that explain that, and if you require assistance, then you can get help from WS:Scriptorium/Help. — billinghurst sDrewth 20:27, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you very much! I uploaded a first file but I wasn't sure about the copyright plus I found that there was a page missing (the "Part First" title page) and I mistyped the title, so I uploaded a new file that looks okay and contains the said page. I was able to recreate an index following the example of ShakespeareFan00's edits on the first file. Auteuil-Passy (talk) 09:32, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
Pages tag
[edit]The modern syntax is to use the <pages> tag such as<pages index="The Story of Manon Lescaut and of the Chevalier des Grieux.pdf" include=5 />. --EncycloPetey (talk) 18:44, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for telling me! I will correct it. --Auteuil-Passy (talk) 18:54, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
You may find {{longdash}} to be useful. --EncycloPetey (talk) 23:20, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
- Corrected all proofread pages (hoping I didn't miss any occurrence). I will continue to use it, thank you for telling me about it! --Auteuil-Passy (talk) 00:36, 9 March 2020 (UTC)
