Header formatting

Hello. I noticed you're using format-sensitive markup in the {{header}} template (see example). This is generally discouraged, since the formatting may break at any time if the header template is changed. Further, the template is designed to provide information for humans and bots alike, so parameter values should only contain the information required.

For example, I would suggest using "|title=[[../]] |section=How the Babes in the Wood Showed They Couldn’t Be Beaten" instead of "|title=How the Babes in the Wood Showed They Couldn’t Be Beaten<br />From [[../]]". Alternatively, it is common practice to only mention the original collection's title in the notes parameter (see example). Is there a particular reason you want to format it that way, or would one of these alternatives be okay? —{admin} Pathoschild 01:54:56, 03 June 2007 (UTC)

I was doing it that way so that the title of the poem would show up in bold at the top of the page. I did this new one by the method you suggested. The trouble is, now the actual title of the poem is not given in bold at the top of the page. Is there another method to show the poem's title at the top? Maybe these poems should not be sub-pages. They are actually standalone poems—and many of them were published separately but collected into this anthology. Should we separate them from the main title Grimm Tales Made Gay and mention it only in the notes? I would still like to make them into a series so that the reader can go through them sequentially. What do you think? DanMS 02:33, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Well, I just read Wikisource:Style guide#Page titles and it looks like I have been doing it wrong. The poems should not be sub-pages if they are standalone poems published in an anthology. Looks like we'll have to move all the poems to their own top-level pages. Unfortunately, I have created redirect pages with short titles for all the the poems I have done so far, so I as a non-admin will not be able to move the pages to an already-existing page name. I may have to prevail on you to correct my mistakes! Can I still use the Next and Previous links, even though they are technically not part of a parent work? DanMS 02:58, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

I have moved all the sub-pages of Grimm Tales Made Gay to top-level pages and corrected all the links. I will also move all the Fables for the Frivolous pages from sub-pages to top-level pages. DanMS 05:19, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Yes, you can still use back/next navigation if you think that is helpful. :) —{admin} Pathoschild 17:36:50, 03 June 2007 (UTC)

Trying to locate the original image file

... for this Army Corps of Engineers aerial of the Port of Redwood City that you uploaded: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_of_Redwood_City#/media/File:Redwood_City_port_aerial_view.jpg

It is not on the Army Corps' Library page. I am trying to use it for the cover of a publication and need the high resolution version.
