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

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]
