There is a wish for an possible enhancement. It would be nice to have another state,m let's call it partly proofread once. In the german language WS there a lot of magazines. The typically end in the middle of the page, or there are several articles on one page. It would be nice to flag if there are proofreaded parts on this page.


The following bug shall be added to this list here, Wikisource: IPs unable to flag articles as "proofread" https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20812

There have been still long discussions with no solution
 Especially teh comment from

Please provide unified diffs using "diff -ur old/ new/"

More fundamentally, I think it is necessary for the Proofread Page extension to
not include access control. It should probably use the userCan hook, and let
another extension implement access control.

Also should be added, even admins aren't able to set pages to proofread twice. In the de:ws we are converting, already proofread twice projects to this extension, because the method with the two additional namespaces is handsome.  But it is an awfull work to go through the already done steps  again. 

There is a bug, with zooming of the scans in PR2, the scrollbar vanishes, and the picture itself is growing ore reducing itself - uninterruptable-

This email highlighted and remind me of a couple of issues,

1. The indexing functionality and how it fails for transcluded pages; which is integral to
ProofreadPage when it transcludes working pages into the main namespace for display.

(thanks to MZMcBride for helping me track this down)

2. The support around djvu files in general, which is improved, though still lacking in
the <gallery> extension, see
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8480

Both of which have an impact for WS, though not exclusive to the site.
