• Completeness
  • {{Incomplete}} marks a work as incomplete. It generally means that some parts of the work are not available on Wikisource in any form, either as text content or page scans. If possible, use a more specific template like those below.
  • {{No header}} - where the header information missing
  • {{Translation}} for rating the progress of a Wikisource translation
• Sourcing
  • {{No source}} the source is unknown and should be identified
  • {{Fidelity}} - used where the text integrity is dubious
  • {{Second-hand}} or {{Project Gutenberg}} when the work comes from a second-hand source (and should preferably be scan-backed instead)
• When there are errors:
  • {{Clean up scan}} when the work has OCR errors or hasn't been proofread, and does have a page scan
  • {{OCR-errors}} when the work contains OCR errors and/or page breaks and does not have a page scan.
  • {{Transcluded OCR errors}} when the work contains OCR errors from a transcluded page scan.
• Issues with the structure of a work
  • {{Split}} when the work needs to be split up into sections or chapters.
  • {{Split-multiple}} when a page such as a collection of snippets needs to be split into various different works.
  • {{Move to subpage}} when a work should be a subpage of another work
  • {{Numbers}} when the work contains page breaks from the original work, but not other OCR errors.
  • {{Refs}} when the work has references in the text which should be converted to the Wiki ref format
  • {{Standardise}} when the work is complete, but doesn't conform with the style guidelines
• When work should be scan-backed:
  • {{No scan}} when the text is not backed by a scanned copy of the edition from which it was transcribed and no such scan of that edition is available yet on Commons
  • {{Migrate to}} when the work is ostensibly complete, but needs to be migrated to an existing page scan of the same edition. If the scans aren't at Wikisource yet, or the edition is different, use {{scans available}}.
  • {{Scans available}} - when scans are available, but do not have an index page yet. Use {{migrate to}} if the scans exist at Wikisource, and the edition is the same
• Export issues
  • {{Export formatting needed}} when the work is unsuitable for export due to formatting issues
  • {{export to check}} when the work is believed ready for export but needs a further check
