I'm a bit wrong, but I still don't recommend it. Got to thinking after I adjusted a few that it looked like it was working the same, but never see it used, so I asked. Sharing as an FYI. Apologies for my error. Zinnober9 (talk) 01:54, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

weird style problem and more

I came here to ask what you think is going on with this page Page:Arabian Nights Entertainments (1728)-Vol. 6.djvu/1. It has no style, yet it is rendering as if it does.

Then I read your message to consider leaving. To me it means "they win" "they have everything now".

I think that users of your software should each have their own name and not this name.--RaboKarbakian (talk) 08:14, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

I haven't edited that page seemingly. Can you explain more cleanly what's going on?
What is the exact error you are seeing? ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 08:16, 30 October 2024 (UTC)

1 Stat. R. 50

Page:Ruffhead - The Statutes at Large, 1763.djvu/96

Took a stab at it and removed the problematic status. I couldn't spot what made it problematic, so would appreciate your feedback on this one. Foofighter20x (talk) 16:44, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

I can't recall, Maybe I marked it problematic as an incomplete format, and forget to remove the status. Keep going. BTW if you want to standardise the formatting and make some notes on the talk page. This volume's formatting is a little convoluted, and probably need someone to make it consistent across all pages.

If I had to guess, I think it was probably the footnotes within the footnotes. I have been going through all the prior pages to try and get used to what's already been done and touching up/standardizing across all pages, but I think this one was the first page I recall seeing footnoted footnotes.

Another thing: I've decided to include the untranslated text of the chapters in Latin and law-French in the template pages within the frame box, but I am wrapping those untranslated portions in noinclude tags (i.e., when the template is called, those untranslated portions will not render in the calling page). This way, they are at least typed up somewhere, and it's been proofread and is easy to access until we have actual pages to where we can place them on the other language wikis. Foofighter20x (talk) 04:17, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

Check the equivalent pages at French and Latin Wikipedia, as I did an initial transcription of some of that text a while back. :) , By looking at those (and use of {{iwpages}} and {tl|IwPageSection}} you might save some time. I did this one transcription already.

Another note: In building for mainspace: On a longer acts the intention was to try and use the actual Short Title as the Work name if defined. The convention otherwise seems to be <Subject> (taken from the The Chronologicial Table of The Statutes)> <year>. Finding official short titles can be an involved process for early Statutes though.

Elsewhere on Wikisource/Commons , there are scans of Statutes Of The Realm, which might assist Translation efforts. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 09:00, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

I know enough Latin and French that I can make passable attempts at directly translating them myself, but I'm not exactly sure where the translation I would produce should go. Would it be considered original research and thus need to be independenty published? I've got a little editing experience here, but in the main I guess I'm still kind of a noob. Foofighter20x (talk) 10:30, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

Wikisource supports user translations of Non English works, but they should be clearly marked as Trabnslated by Wikisource, and seperate from other transcription efforts. As mentioned some of the Non English in Ruffhead was translated in "Statutes of The Realm" , but if you want to attempt your own Law translation feel free, Don't use GoogleTranslate as what it produces isn't quite the samewhen tested with a short section where Ruffhead has both the origianl and English translation. Please note that the French is Law French not Modern French. Also some translation of early statutes aren't always literal translation (as some of the parrallel printing indciates.) The reason why the Non English wasn't included here was to do with Wikisource policy at the time the work was started.

If you want to attempt translations, feel free, but bear in mind other works on Law might have done so already. For some items (although less likely for repealed items) a semi-official translation might be on legislation.gov.uk BTWShakespeareFan00 (talk) 10:39, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

I would suggest initially doing the translation in you Userspace, and then ask how to possibly link them on the Scriptorum:) ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 10:39, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

rh/1

Hello. May I ask what is the benefit of edits like this? -- Jan Kameníček (talk) 22:58, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

A long term goal to simplify the running header code used across wikisource. Currently there are around 86,000 single content running headers that are preventing the simplification. If you think alternately Rh/1 can be replaced with left/right/center appropriately, I have no objections provided that it's done consistently across a work, which is what the focus of some recent editing efforts is. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 23:02, 5 November 2024 (UTC)

Talk page watcher, just stopping by to endorse this simplification of the running header code used across Wikisource. It is a broadly good thing to do. BD2412 T 14:17, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

Won't be following this up just yet, (but you are welcome to review Rh/1 usage) I am running a check-back on my delinting efforts outside content namespace over the last 10 years or so. If you want to review my past delints as well feel free. Currently looking at Talk namepsace. :) ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 14:20, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
