[Wikisource-l] Community Tech new hire

Hi all, I've recently started working on the Community Tech team https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Tech at the Wikimedia Foundation. So I just wanted to say hi and that I'm really excited to be able to work on Wikimedia code full-time! :-) Community Tech is all about helping build tools

[Wikisource-l] Wikidata/source search tool

Hi all, I've been attempting to get my head around Wikidata and how Wikisource-works' data is stored there, and have made a simple little search thingo: https://tools.wmflabs.org/ws-search/ It just searches title and author at the moment, but I'm going to extend it for dates,

Re: [Wikisource-l] Spoken Wikisource for Wikiradio

That is very cool! I'd not seen Wikiradio before. Thanks for adding Wikisource! :-) I've been wondering for a while about getting into adding audio books for Wikisource; always seems like Librivox is the go-to place for that sort of thing though (not that one can't add Librivox audio to

Re: [Wikisource-l] Discourse for Wikisource mailing list

I'm amazed -- a non-mediawiki idea for discussion! ;) I reckon it'd be worth a try. People who don't want to use the web interface can still just post and reply via email. And I like the idea of non-threaded disucssion... it works really well on all the sites I've used it on. --Sam On

Re: [Wikisource-l] Better way to validate pages

Yes, I sort of agree with this, I must say! I love the idea of one-click validate this and go to next page, but I reckon it should be when one is viewing wikitext. Maybe it could just be as simple as save this and go to next? Although, then one doesn't get confirmation that one's edits are

Re: [Wikisource-l] More on difficulties of discovery of WS within Wikidata

Is it acceptable to add a descriptive bit to the title of editions? I assume so? (I'm still pretty unsure of the culture on Wikidata.) I've just done it here: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q20706406 Also: is it true that every Item with a '

Re: [Wikisource-l] Category browser

The 'index_root' is the category in which Indexes are put when they're validated (i.e. proofread by at least two people). Perhaps for German it's actually Kategorie:Korrigiert? Or is that what proceeds Fertig? If the correct site link is added to https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15634466 then
