Long s?

There are many long s's in the original scan; should we transcribe them as-is or just as a plain "s"? (The latter seems to be what is currently going on but the former is what I'm leaning towards.)

@Duckmather I am not exactly sure what you mean by transcribe in this context, given that the work has been proofread and transcluded. That said, and as far as I am aware, long s's are optional. If you are really determined, and intend to both go over the currently validated pages, and all the rest, I am not against you swapping in long s's (using their template), if others are not against it. I am hesitant to encourage such an action though. Regards, TeysaKarlov (talk) 00:05, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

I'm in support of using long S's wherever they appear, and changing the validated pages to match the text. CitationsFreak (talk) 01:44, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

I personally think that the best solution is to use {{ls}}, which then allows the reader to choose whether to see s or ſ in the transclusion. —Beleg Tâl (talk) 16:46, 17 July 2024 (UTC)
