This page has details that you can refer to when you need.}}[[File:Wikisource proofread-edit.png|400px|thumb|right|Editing a file on Wikisource showing the text and original side by side]] Proofreading produces the works on Wikisource from page scans. Page scans are normally in DjVu or PDF format which are uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. Proofreading takes place in the Index and Page [[Help:Namespace|namespaces]] before being transcluded into the main namespace. The proofreading process is split into different phases which are indicated by each page's page status. Wikisource has a [[Wikisource:Style guide|style guide]] and certain formatting conventions that should be used during proofreading to make sure that our texts look correct and function properly. This proofreading function is provided by the ProofreadPage extension. The Proofread of the Month (PotM) is a good place to start for people who want to learn how proofreading works on Wikisource. This project runs a new work each month and invites all users to take part. ==[[Help:Page scans]]==Page scans are used for proofreading on Wikisource. This page describes how to use, browse, navigate and edit scanned pages as well as the different functions of the Index and Page namespaces. == [[Help:Index pages]] =={{see also|Help:Beginner's guide Content needs to Index: files}} Starting an index page is the first step in proofreading a new work for Wikisource. This page describes how to set up and manage these pages in the Index namespace. ==[[Help:Page numbers]]==Pages in a physical document are usually marked with numbers. These numbers are used in the "Pages" field of the Index page and in the headers or footers of the individual pages. They will be automatically visible in the main namespace alongside the text, too. ==[[Help:Page status]]==During proofreading, pages move through three phases, with two additional states for other conditions. The status of a page is reflected both in the color of its block on the index page, and by the banner on the main namespace page. This page describes these statuses. ==[[Help:Formatting conventions]]=={{See also|Wikisource:Style guide}}This page describes the conventions considered best practice for formatting pages in the Page namespace. ==[[Help:Transclusion]]== After the text of the work is proofread from the side-by-side page images, "transclusion" is used to display the text from the Page namespace into pages in the main namespace. Transclusion displays the page of another text without having to copy or manually update it later. The purpose of transcluding the text is to group it into logical, reasonably sized chunks—most frequently chapters or sections. [[Help:Transclusion|This page]] describes the process of transclusion. == More == === [[Help:ProofreadPage extension]] ===Wikisource uses the [[mw:Extension:Proofread_Page|ProofreadPage]] extension to run the proofreading function of the project.
