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.
ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 16:56, 3 November 2024 (UTC)- 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. Foofighter20x (talk) 13:27, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
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
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)
Any inklings you can share on why the class block template isn't working on this and the previous few pages? Foofighter20x (talk) 20:47, 7 March 2025 (UTC) @Foofighter20x: - The styles will need to imported from another volume and put on the relevantpage, currently VOl4 has no Indexstyles defined apparently..

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)
Indexes
The remaining pages of Index are free of Obsolete tags, and linthint's green when I scan these pages after publishing my edits, but I'm unable to clear Wikisource's claim of an obsolete tag remaining. I've tried purging page, hard purging, null editing, and got no change. Is it a wait it out situation, or am I overlooking something? Zinnober9 (talk) 14:08, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
@Zinnober9: Not just you, same issue. Consider raising a Phabriactor ticket as it's a headscratcher for me as well. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 14:29, 17 November 2024 (UTC)
Explanation for edit?
Hi there! I noticed you made a couple edits to my userpage — however, I don't see any difference in the page before and after. Can you clarify what those are about? Thanks! Waldyrious (talk) 23:36, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Waldyrious: The edits are to do with night-mode: If you set the background color, you alos have to set the text color. If the repair worked would shouldn't see any changes. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 23:38, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
- Ah, got it! Thank you :) Waldyrious (talk) 23:44, 21 November 2024 (UTC)
suggestion
change "Apologies for the intteruption, but this was showing up on a list ofLints, missing style" to "Ignore this (I'm making a minor change to fix a list of missing style problems. sorry for the interuption"
It took me a while to realise that I needed to do nothing.
cheers Victuallers (talk) 14:48, 23 November 2024 (UTC)
your assistance please...
You left a note on my user talk page on commons, with a link here, which, unfortunately, wasn't helpful...
I saw it started with Lint errors: Missing end tag, and I started looking through the output on those pages, until I got to a page that listed some pages in user space I worked on. I took a look at them, trying to figure out which tags were missing, without success. Can you help me determine this? Geo Swan (talk) 13:26, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
- @Geo Swan: What's missing is for the most part italic and bold, which must be paired on a single line. I.e you typed ''' or '' at the start of a line, but forget to type the equivalent at the end of the line. I was also asking if these were drafts you'd later migrated to scan backed Pages.
I also use a script when editing pages - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:PerfektesChaos/js/lintHint - it provides a button in the top of pages which when expanded gives a list of unpaired tags. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 13:58, 24 November 2024 (UTC)

span and color
Where is the wiki documentation is "color" now required to be explicitly specified in a span tag? --EncycloPetey (talk) 02:39, 26 November 2024 (UTC)
- You raise a reasonable point, I'm not sure the requirement that backgroound/background-color must now be accompanied by (foreground) color is adequately documented at Wikisource. It is however documented alongside the description of the relevant Lint Error in the documentation at Meta. Migration of FONT to span may alos have simmilar issues. If you want me to start reverting every single coonversion I can do that, but I feel strongly it would create far more noise than it solves. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 09:51, 26 November 2024 (UTC)

Finding dumb typos
How do you find errors like this so quickly? Do you somehow subscribe to Special:LintErrors? I'd like to reduce your overhead by at least quickly cleaning up my own mistakes. Thanks. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 21:26, 30 November 2024 (UTC)
@Koavf: I just monitor to the list of LintErrors on a regular basis. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 21:28, 30 November 2024 (UTC)

Old transcriptions in User Space..
I apologize for my late reply to your request regarding some old transcriptions in user space. The reason is I have been only rarely online recently due to being very busy in my offline life. However, I am not really sure what action is requested from me. If you think they should be deleted, it would probably be best to propose their deletion via the usual process. I am afraid I cannot just speedy a page from a user's space without any serious reason. -- Jan Kameníček (talk) 10:35, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- The message was that I was asking if you had time to rescue any of them as potential POTM or Monthy Challanges, duplicates could be courtesy blanking, but that might be contentious, so would have to go through the normal 'Proposed Deletion' process.. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 10:57, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
- I see. Not sure if I will have time for that, but you may try to write directly to the POTM or Monthly Challenges talk pages. --Jan Kameníček (talk) 11:02, 24 December 2024 (UTC)
Scribners jpegs
I almost undid your undo. I need a few minutes to think about it. You correct me too quickly, I learn by my little bits of clean up. 14:50 and 14:52
You gave me less than what, less than 3 minutes to figure it out?
Your edits recently have been mostly bogus (meaning I did not make that mistake) and creepy. I am already cringing when I see you have been on my work.
But that was a good template. Some one has to figure out how to separate this from the google spam, I think.
ShakespeareFan00 should always be very credible with anything css.
Okay so
- More time between my edit and yours.
- Always have credible edits.
- Detach from my google spam
And a large part of my life would be better, great even. I learned a lot from you.--RaboKarbakian (talk) 15:13, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
- Okay so you are concerned that putting the suggested fix back in was done to quickly? None of my recent edits were anything other than good faith attempts to make reapirs to resolve lint concerns and related issues. Do you have a specific list of other edits you have concerns about? If you have getting stressed from having your efforts 'reapaired' than I strongly suggest taking a few days away from contributing. Are you using AI or a a transaltion tool because your comments above sound like a generated response BTW ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 15:25, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
Ppoem native rules
Would you mind spelling out what spec exactly you have in mind? Two things need to be defined: input, what the user enters, and output, what it should produce. The input format at {{ppoem/testcases}} could be criticized because it looks kinda like HTML, with the angle brackets, especially when you compare comment start:
