Hi!

This page isn’t list in Special:SpecialPages because it’s an API endpoint and not something done for « normal" wiki users use.

http://mediawiki.org/xml/proofreadpage/qdc/ is only used as a vocabulary URI. As allowed by the OAI-PMH spec the vocabulary schema is available in an other place specified by xsi:schemaLocation: https://wikisource.org/wiki/Special:ProofreadIndexOaiSchema/qdc
(it’s only a wrapper for qualified Dublin Core).

Mediawiki:Proofreadpage_index_oai_sets is only done to configure OAI-PMH "sets" (sort of categories). the OAI endpoint is usable even without sets created.
The records content are configured by MediaWiki:Proofreadpage_index_data_config using the "data" property that maps Index: pages entries to entries as understood by ProofreadPage. The "type" property is also used. en, fr old and it Wikisources use this new configuration system already. I’ve just improved a little bit the MediaWiki.org page about it.

PS: You have right, the documentation is a real problem. I’m going to send an email to the mailing list about it.
