[edit]The remaining tidy font issues in the Wikisource namespace cannot easily be repaired by other contributors (notably @Zinnober9: because they are currently protected. Does this protection still need to be there? ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 09:54, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
- @ShakespeareFan00 Very nice timing, I was just composing my thoughts to ask about this since the Tidy Font set was nearing completion. I'll post that here since the discussion has been started.
- Hello Xover,
- Hope you are doing well! In regards to delinting, how does Wikisource handle full protected pages in the event of corrective edit requests for taking care of various Lint errors? Are pages temporarily lowered in page protection, as enwiki does, or do you offer temporary adminship to reliable editors (pending a community's admin nomination approval) as Wikivoyage does? I'm not making any request one way or the other with this comment, just asking questions about how things are done here so that I know how to proceed in getting these and some other currently protected Lint errors addressed.
- ShakespeareFan00 asked me the other month on enwiki if I would join them here in tackling some of the Linter syntax issues, and since I was between error type interests on enwiki and had just finished things on Wikivoyage, I got busy here and made quick work of the Tidy font errors.
- A little bit about me, I've been delinting on enwiki for two years and have eliminated, or helped eliminate, a few error types from enwiki (Tidy font, invalid image options, and fostered table content were some of the major ones). I spent Aug-Sept of this year on Wikivoyage clearing all but 59 of their 30k or so Lint errors in 5.9k edits and was granted temporary (3-mo) adminship there so I could access a few hundred lint issues on protected pages that had been unavailable to me otherwise. All my edits are human and I try to maintain a one edit per page goal in my delinting when I can so that I can minimize any disturbance to other editors. Happy to answer any questions you may have.

- What I had actually asked about was Missing tags in content namespaces. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 22:22, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
Apologies..
[edit]I am considering qutting Wikisource. It seems that good faith delinting outside Page: namespace is contentious, and my attempts to interest someone in resolving Missing tgas on Page:'s backfired.
I remain perfectly willing to revert any non Page: delints I made before leaving however, but I am of the view that would just create more noise. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 22:46, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
- However it seems that some backlogs will be mostly cleared very soon :) ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 22:45, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

I remember you creating similar indexes in the past (at least, I think it was you); could you recreate this one from here, please? It seems to have been created in accident. TE(æ)A,ea. (talk) 03:53, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
I see that you created this index a couple of years ago. There is also Index:Mr. Bennett And Mrs. Brown.pdf which has been fully validated and transcluded. Do you think that we want the .djvu ? -- Beardo (talk) 06:32, 8 December 2024 (UTC)
