Translation of the survey into other languages
by David Cuenca Tudela 13 Jul '15

13 Jul '15

The survey is now available, however only in English, does anyone want to translate it into other languages? Nicolas translated it into French, but we can add more if there is interest.

Category browser
by Sam Wilson 13 Jul '15

13 Jul '15

Two things about http://tools.wmflabs.org/ws-cat-browser/ — 1. I've changed the ownership of this tool, and it's now at https://github.com/wikisource/ws-cat-browser 2. It's slightly multi-lingual now. At least, it allows browsing of the Italian categories now. All the UI text is still in English I'm afraid. I'd like to add languages, but need to know the names of 'validated works' and root-level categories (e.g. for French it's perhaps "Catégorie:100%", but I'm not really sure; that might be old). Thanks, Sam.

Another category loop (ES)

Does anyone mind that I keep posting these things? This time it's on es: [0] => Pedagogía_Tolteca - Categoría:ES-P [1] => Pedagogía_Tolteca - Categoría:Ensayos [2] => Pedagogía_Tolteca - Categoría:Ensayos_de_Guillermo_Marín_Ruiz [3] => Pedagogía_Tolteca - Categoría:Historia_de_México [4] => Categoría:Historia_de_México - Categoría:Historia_por_países [5] => Categoría:Historia_por_países - Categoría:Historia [6] => Categoría:Historia - Categoría:Ciencias_humanísticas [7] => Categoría:Historia - Categoría:Documentos_históricos [8] => Categoría:Documentos_históricos - Categoría:Principal [9] => Categoría:Documentos_históricos - Categoría:Índice_de_documentos_históricos [10] => Categoría:Índice_de_documentos_históricos - Categoría:Índice_de_documentos_históricos I could blunder in and post in english on their Scriptorium/Pub/Cafe, but that seems rather rude. :) —sam.

Does anybody know who is operating this repository? https://github.com/Wikisource Would it be possible to add more admins to make it the official repository for Wikisource scripts? Thanks! Micru

Rethinking Iwpage - Iwpages
by Alex Brollo 10 Jul '15

10 Jul '15

Iwpage is javascript (old-style) based, t.i. the resulting html can't be exported into ePub, it "does not exists" from server point of view. Is there any work in progress to implement it into proofread page extension? The best would be that #lst, <page> and <pages> would run interproject transclusion with the current syntax (just adding a language prefix to base page name). Alex brollo

Blog post about the survey almost finished, needs review
by David Cuenca Tudela 01 Jul '15

01 Jul '15

Hi, If someone could take a look to this short text, correct it, or expand it, I would be most grateful. English is not my mother tongue and I keep wondering how to handle it properly... https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Blog/Drafts/Wikisource_survey_and… If more material for the blog post is needed, then there is this report about the WMCON https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ew8cVJhqqenGUAVVaTQqkisyPyd1tSX-zbVfi-U… And the report of last year activities https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikisource_Community_User_Group/2014_Report Btw, the task in Phabricator for the blog post is https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T104116 I find it useful to track blocking tasks to more general things, like in this case the survey. Thanks! Micru

On the subject of works, translations and inter language links at WD
by billinghurst 01 Jul '15

01 Jul '15

[the things we think about on long commutes and not wanting to do more work] An issue that has long perplexed me with WD and the book and edition properties, and translations. If every edition is based on a publication (time and place), and someone does a translation, then this translation is going to be a new edition, new translator(s), different VIAF, etc. [basically it has its own metadata] so it is a different WD entry. Sooooo, how do we use WD to do interlanguage linking, as by it's definition about all we could link are disambiguation pages. Seems pointless, and self-defeating. Regards, Billinghurst.

At wikidata: dissociation of book and edition hiding links between WP and WS
by billinghurst 29 Jun '15

29 Jun '15

With the WD methodology for each book there is to be an entry for the book as the idea/concept. Then for each edition there is to be a separate entry. Now the difficulty that I am seeing is that WP links to the book/idea. Whereas WS links to the edition. So there is no visible relationship from each to the other in the WS <-> WP Now while that may be correct it is problematic. Anyone have any clear solution? If it is going to be through indirect linking then we are going to need some clever lua work at enWS for Wikipedia linking in {{plain sister}} and similarly at the WP side. While I have attention, VIAF entries for works. Are they related to the work or to an edition or is it both? I see that the translations of works have a year in VIAF, and as that relates to an author it may be right but it seems inconsistent. Regards, Billinghurst

Wikidata property for Index pages. Bot needed!
by David Cuenca Tudela 26 Jun '15

26 Jun '15

Just recently a new Wikidata property for linking with the Index page has been created https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P1957 An example of its use can be seen here: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15839163 In theory it should be possible to import it automatically. Is anyone capable of writing a bot for importing it? Cheers, Micru
