Hi!
This page isn’t list in Special:SpecialPages because it’s an API endpoint and not
something done for « normal" wiki users use.
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:
(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
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.
You should ask Tpt,
he's the one working with OAI-PMH.
Very happy Luiz that you want to mess with that page,
as we probably need some tests to make it up and running for different scenarios,
as far as I know few Wikisources actually use it.
I'm currently speaking with 2 companies which do "digital lending",
meaning,
lending ebooks. I told them about that page and related.
I still have no feedback about though.

Hi, Billinghurst,
I think that you have misunderstood the mentioned special page.
The Oai portion on [[Special:ProofreadIndexOai]] reffers to OAI-PMH (Open Archives
Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting), not OAuth =)

Luiz,
I don't see it listed at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:OAuthListConsumers
which is where all approved clients are listed at this time (though the
plan is to move the process to meta at some point).
Regards, Billinghurst

I've just found [[Special:ProofreadIndexOai]]
and loved it!
Firstly, why this special page isn't listed at [[Special:SpecialPages]]?
Second, [1] points to [2], that returns a 404 error.
Oka, now I'll ask the most important thing: how to implement it!? =)
The doc page [3] mentions a page stored in the MediaWiki namespace, but
that page is almost empty on it.wikisource and don't ever was created on
en.wikisource. Those domains contains DC fields such as title, creator,
issued.
The MediaWiki page was also ever created on pt.wikisource, but all
metadata
that it returns to me is type and format.

As a side note, I really love all efforts done in ProofreadPage
extension.
It's amazing that a plugin developed entirely
in a volunteer basis, with
little or none input from the main product (MediaWiki) developer team,
has
achieved such level of quality and complexity.
But, please, give some love and attention to maintain it's
documentation.
Do it remembering that it will be crucial for
small Wikisources, since
most
of the time only one or two users retains all the
very specific
knowledge
necessary to try to develop and atract new users
for that subdomain.
Reverse engineering to discover how something works is a time consuming
task, like all the remaining core tasks. At the end, those local experts
users ends in getting no fun contributing to Wikisource because firstly
needs to do lots of additional and sometimes bureaucratic work if really
wants to not being the only user in such wiki.
We all are in the same boat, trying to colect works in copyleft or
public
domain in a project that the main organization
behind we (Wikimedia
Foundation) neither try to help us or know how to help us (in fact,
mostly
of us, myself included, don't know also on
what can be helped), please
help
each other on what is possible.
[what a melodramatic message I just wrote LOL]
