The Proofread Page extension can render a book either as a column of OCR text beside a column of scanned images, or broken into its logical organization (such as chapters or poems) using transclusion.
The extension is intended to allow easy comparison of text to the original and allow rendering of a text in several ways without duplicating data. Since the pages are not in the main namespace, they are not included in the statistical count of text units.

[edit] Installation
The extension is enabled on all Wikisources. If you want to install it on your own wiki, you will need to install the WebStore extension (404 handler for generating thumbnails).
[edit] Configuration
- You need to create the MediaWiki:Proofreadpage_index_template in order to display index pages
- In order to use the page quality system, it is necessary to create custom "Page" and "Index" namespaces. The names of these namespaces must be indicated in Mediawiki:Proofreadpage_namespace and Mediawiki:Proofreadpage_index_namespace. You also need the PageQuality template.
- In order to display coloured links in index pages, you need to add quality classes to your CSS files. see the section Page namespace at s:MediaWiki:Common.css.
[edit] Known bugs
- for djvu index pages, the colored links need to be refreshed with 'action=purge'
- Fix Proofread Page extension for RTL languages
