Dear all, on 26 October I made a little test on the Italian Wikisource.
I've always been an enthusiast about the WSexoport, Tpt's tool for epub conversion. But I always thought that the link was not visible enough... So, I've been bold and added the link to the converter directly in the Header template.
The result, I think, is quite stunning: on the 26th we had 4738 dowloads, now we are at 8700! In ten days we doubled the number of downloads we had in few years...
I think it is a simple but powerful edit. You just have to put in your header a thing like this:
<div class="noprint" style="text-align: left;"> <small>{{epub|{{PAGENAME}}|testo=Scarica questo testo come EPUB}}</small></div>
I suggest you keep track of the stats *before* and *after* the edit here http://wsexport.wmflabs.org/tool/stat.php
Let me know how it goes! :-)

Yes, everyone please try!

...and if only you had made the same edit to link Special:Book when I asked it maybe someone would have seen the stats and funded some Collection extension development...
If the stats continue to grow I believe it will be time to try to fund a rewriting of Wsexport in order to integrate it directly into Wikimedia infrastructure ;-). Thomas
