If the Wikisources have adopted some common rules, every sublanguage should follow it.

There would be absolutely no loss of quality or credibility...
There is no general process for adopting common rules on all Wikisources, and, in fact, allowing rules to be developed separately does give more room for innovation. If Wikisourcerors had wanted common rules they would not have allowed each language to develop its own independent project.
I really don't care how blank pages are represented, but it is important to note these in some way to forestall the inevitable complaint when a page is missing.
