Module:Monthly Challenge/data/doc

This module provides data for the relevant months's Wikisource:Monthly Challenge, and should be based on pages nominated at Wikisource:Community collaboration/Monthly Challenge/Nominations. Not all works are suitable for the challenge and should be discussed prior to addition.

A module like this must exist for every month that has a MC.

Adding works

Add works in the Monthly Challenge to the works subtable, with a section for each age of the work (e.g. [0] is new works for this month, 1 is works rolled over once, and so on). [-1] can be used for "immortal" works that are present until completion.

Thus, works from the previous MC that are rolling over should be copied into this month's data table, and have their keys increased by one.

    [0] = {
		[ 'The Philippine Islands, 1493-1803 (Prospectus).pdf' ] = {
			year = 1904,
			flag = 'Philippines',
			page = 'Portal:The Philippine Islands, 1493-1803',
			author = 'Emma Helen Blair',
			title = 'Prospectus for The Philippine Islands, 1493-1803',
			subject = 'Western Colonialism',
			cover = 3,
            progress = {
               initial= 'C',
               final= 'C'
            }
		},
    }

Works are keyed using the index name (without the Index: prefix)

Fields:

• year The year
• title The display title
• author An author or authors. Can be a list of multiple authors. For each author:
  • Author Name (YYYY-YYYY) will have the dates hidden for display
  • Author Name|Override name will use "Override Name" as the display and "Author Name" as the link targer
• page A page to link instead of the author (e.g. for periodicals where there is no single author)
• subject A string or table of subjects. If any of these matches the sprint for a listing, it will be highlighted
• cover The cover image - if a number, that page of the file is used, if not, it's assumed to be a filename (you must use this option if the index is not a PDF or DJVU)
• short true or false to override automatic short work detection based on page count. Must be provided for an image-based index (or it will be considered normal)
• status initial is the status for the work at the start of the month, final is the status at the end of the month. Options are tofix, proofread, validated. If given, the final status will be used for the current position in the table, even if different to the index page. This is so sub-works can be tracked separately, and also so we can "freeze" the month data at the end of the month.

Testing

When updating, remember to preview the relevant Monthly Challenge page (e.g. Wikisource:Community collaboration/Monthly Challenge/December 2024) using the button at the bottom of the edit box.

Categorization

There used to be a need to categorise indexes into categories like Category:Monthly Challenge (December 2024) for inclusion in the statistics. This is no longer necessary, technically speaking, but may still be helpful from an administrative perspective.
