Your question[edit]
In answer to your question, I do not use any tool. I do manually with a touchscreen phone. The OCR text comes from Index:The American Cyclopædia (1879) Volume VI.djvu. James500 (talk) 02:36, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
- @James500: oh, cool thanks. Do you use something to convert it to text that you then copy into Wikisource? DemonDays64 (talk) 02:38, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
- No, you just follow each red link on the index page, and the OCR text comes up automatically as part of the "create page" form. The rest of our index pages are at Category:Index. James500 (talk) 02:45, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
This is a versions page. It should list various versions of the same document or text, not other related texts. For that you might consider creating a Portal. --EncycloPetey (talk) 04:39, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
- @EncycloPetey: ok thanks! I do think that it should be easier to find the whole constitution. Maybe it should just be one document — Constitution with all the amendments listed on the page? It is weird for it to take clicking through to the Constitution, then to the Bill of Rights, to find things that are legally just as valid as the original thing. Thoughts?

- What you describe would be what a Portal can do. Wikisource is organized like a library, with copies of the same book or same documents filed in the same location. Similar and related documents might be filed near each other, but they would not be considered the same if they are not the same. Portals are a bit freer in that they can group items that are closely related or on the same topic. --EncycloPetey (talk) 14:52, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
