Question about FOC style change

Hi! I noticed that you changed ".mw-parser-output" to ".prp-pages" at Index:The forme of cury (1780).djvu/styles.css—why is that? I noticed that it changed the rendering font at the index pages. Thanks! —Kittycataclysm (talk) 23:31, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

Ah, and I forgot to mention that it's also causing some characters not to render as a result. Can I change it back? Or, do you know how to otherwise fix this? —Kittycataclysm (talk) 23:32, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

The rule for .mw-parser-output doesn't work in mainspace, so I changed it to .prp-pages-output which was the only way I could find that would make it work in mainspace. I didn't realize it would break Page space though, but that's an easy fix. Thanks for letting me know! —Beleg Tâl (talk) 23:52, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

Got it—thank you for the fix! —Kittycataclysm (talk) 23:58, 5 October 2025 (UTC)

Author page deletions

You are deleting Author pages that are not empty without discussion. Please stop doing this. --EncycloPetey (talk) 20:53, 17 October 2025 (UTC)

I am deleting author pages that are candidates for speedy deletion under WS:CSD § G9 "Author pages with no published English-language works by the author listed". If you object to this policy, you should take it up at WS:S as usual. —Beleg Tâl (talk) 23:54, 17 October 2025 (UTC)

This behavior is not a Scriptorium discussion. You have deleted content pages, and are doubling down on your actions. This is now a thread of at Wikisource:Administrator's noticeboard#Report concerning User:Beleg Tâl's deletions of Author pages with listed works. --EncycloPetey (talk) 00:39, 18 October 2025 (UTC)

Authors without Wikidata entries

I ran your search for Authors without Wikidata entries. I can't create a Wikidata entry, I was permabanned out-of-process. Can we add a bit of biographical data to the author page here, in the notes section. Even provide an external link that can be migrated to Wikidata if an entry is eventually created there. The link would be to their Findagrave and Familysearch entry. I can create an example and if you think it doesn't look right, we can revert the changes. RAN (talk) 16:55, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

If you have extra biographical information, the best place to put it is the Author talk page. When I create the items on Wikidata I generally check for such information on the talk page and will include it if it's provided. —Beleg Tâl (talk) 16:58, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

• I see you got to Frederick Taber Cooper first! His Familysearch ID is G9Q3-JWT. Wikidata has a field for the ID. Familysearch is free and you can find birth and death dates as well as missing middle names. Sometimes a photo, if they had a passport after WWI or travelled to Brazil. --RAN (talk) 17:58, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

  Aha, excellent! Also, with that information I was able to discover that this page is a duplicate of Author:Frederic Taber Cooper, so I'll clean that up and sort out the redirects. Well done! —Beleg Tâl (talk) 18:03, 4 November 2025 (UTC)

Why did you delete the translator information?

Here? Piotrus (talk) 01:24, 27 November 2025 (UTC)

Hi Piotrus, this is a Wikisource original translation, and as such all editors who have contributed to the translation (including User:Nihil novi) are credited on the work's history page. —Beleg Âlt ^BT (talk) 14:20, 27 November 2025 (UTC)

"Poems missing in source edition"

At "Translation talk:Krasicki's Works/Fables and Parables", please see my comments under your note re: "Poems missing in source edition".

The 4 English translations you list correspond to original Polish texts that are definitely part of Krasicki's "Fables and Parables" and should be included with the rest.

I would appreciate your response at my Wikipedia address.

Thank you. Nihil novi (talk) 21:34, 11 December 2025 (UTC)

@Nihil novi: you have not responded to my comment at WS:PD outlining what options are available to you regarding your translation. The four poems you translated that are missing from pl:Dzieła Krasickiego dziesięć tomów w jednym would only be kept along with the rest if you decided to go with Option #2. Have you decided to proceed with that option? —Beleg Tâl (talk) 00:55, 14 December 2025 (UTC)
