I made some changes

My purpose was to see what wikidata had for this and to set up Weekly Weather and Crop Bulletin. I made some changes to the Index I made and the Index that you made. "Volume" in that form is really good for when all of the issues of one year are in one file. Index:The_Atlantic_Monthly_Volume_1.djvu is a good example of this. So I removed the "58" from there and made a greatly expanded title Weekly Weather and Crop Bulletin, Volume 58, No. 4

This is kind of a pain, but it will put them all into a good position in the Main space. Again with the Atlantic Monthly, a good example: The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 1, Number 1

The other thing I did was remove the {{header}} template from the page header. We use that to display the tops of the document, book, magazine pages; stuff that will not go into the main (transcluded) display. See Page:The Atlantic Monthly Volume 1.djvu/23 for what I tried to say. The Atlantic Monthly/Volume 1/Number 1/Florentine Mosaics#15 is where that page ended without its "header".

See Weekly Weather and Crop Bulletin for how {{header}} is used.

Wikisource uses a lot of templates. Help:Editing#Advanced has a good navigation for the help with the templates and the index pages and the transclusion.

Then, and this is the thing you might not want, I designed a table that somewhat looks like the header that was on the page. I went nuts with the templates and it is difficult for human eyes to read, at least I think so. I consider it that I took a great liberty with your work and will not mind if you remove it and make one that you like. Or, you can paste it onto the other pdf. (a little insomnia here)

Also, I used the crop tool at the commons to get that image out of the pdf. It left a little line on the edge which I will fix tomorrow, but the crop tool there can be very helpful.

Other than the header being in the wrong place at the wrong time, the rest looked really good! And I see you found the {{rh}}} -> Running header. Source is a powerful wiki. My head almost exploded when I first got here. The means for transclusion alone was impressive enough to me.

So, there is some help you did not ask for and only needed a little!--RaboKarbakian (talk) 08:14, 17 December 2024 (UTC)Reply
