Page status

• sister projects: Wikidata item.

An explanation of the different page statuses used by Wikisource.

Noting that page status is visible to all users, though can only be changed by users logged into their Wikimedia user account, as such IP editors cannot change page status.

Validation path

The validation path of the ProofreadPage extension involves five states:

↗ Without text
empty page	→ Not proofread	→ Proofread	→ Validated
	↘ Problematic ↗

Details

The first three are the normal pathway:

• Not proofread is the default value. (See all pages.)
• Proofread means proofread by one contributor. (See all pages.)
• Validated means proofread by two contributors. The corresponding button is available only if the page has been already proofread by someone else. (See all pages.)

This color coding scheme is also visible in the page index view, where each page is listed with the appropriate background color.

In addition,

• Without text is for blank pages. It is not used on pages with published content, such as images. (See all pages.)
• Problematic indicates a problem that needs further work or discussion among contributors. (See all pages.)

You will find the buttons that indicate these states under the edit window. If a previous contributor has proofread the page already, they will appear as below:

Five buttons

If no one has proofread the page yet, the buttons will appear as follows:

Four buttons

In both cases, you can change the status of the page by selecting the appropriate button and saving the page. If the green "Validate" button is not available to you, it will appear for other users if you select the yellow "Proofread" button and save.

The state of each page in a document is shown on the index page, as shown in the screenshot on the right.

CSS

The above status colours can be used in CSS with the following class names (to set the background-color property):

• class="quality0"
• class="quality1"
• class="quality2"
• class="quality3"
• class="quality4"

Sources without transclusion

If a source is not transcluded from pages in the Page namespace, a {{textinfo}} template is placed on the Talk page to denote its page status.

The progress parameter of the {{textinfo}} template should contain one of these lines:

• Text being edited {{25%}} → Text being edited
• Text complete {{50%}} → Text complete
• Proofread and corrected {{75%}} → Proofread and corrected
• Proofread by ''n'' users {{100%}} → Proofread by n users

The final two are equivalent to Proofread and Validated respectively.
