Extension:Proofread Page

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.

The extension is installed on all Wikisource wikis.

Extension

 * 1) Copy the files from the SVN repository to your server (see the "Download" links in the sidebox).
 * 2) Add this link to the bottom of LocalSettings.php:
 * 3) Run update.php

Thumbnailing
The extension links directly to image thumbnails which often don't exist. You must catch 404 errors and generate the missing thumbnails. You can do this with any one of these solutions:  Set an Apache RewriteRule to thumb.php for missing thumbnails:  or set the Apache 404 handler to Wikimedia's thumb-handler. This is a general-purpose 404 handler with Wikimedia-specific code, not simply a thumbnail generator.  or set the Apache 404 handler to Extension:WebStore. This extension is unstable and not maintained. 

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 four categories. The names of these categories must be defined in s:Mediawiki:Proofreadpage_quality1_category to s:Mediawiki:Proofreadpage_quality4_category.
 * 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.
 * In order to appear in the statistics, it is necessary to create custom "Page" and "Index" namespaces.
 * If your wiki has custom "Page" and "Index" namespaces, the names of these namespaces must match the names indicated in Mediawiki:Proofreadpage_namespace and Mediawiki:Proofreadpage_index_namespace.

Options

 * The default layout for editing pages is the vertical layout. It is possible to change this and use the horizontal layout, by setting the following variable : var proofreadpage_default_layout='horizontal'; This setting can be activated by single users, or for all users if it set in common.js
