IA Upload

Sam reported on recent work done on the IA Upload tool (working to meet Wikisource Wishlist #2).

• Better system of generation of DJvU based on Alex Brollo's script
• DJVU creation is functionning \o/
• Google page removal works too, optional for user, not automatic
• We need a boot to remove existing Google front pages on Commons
• I18n of the interface in Translatewiki, see T158522

Still to come:

• If anyone not to convert PDF to DJVU, there should be a option for that. https://github.com/wikisource/ia-upload/issues/15

Open issues:

• duplicate file (not 'identical' as that's already done by Commons). This might be too hard, and not of great benefit.
• Time out is too short https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T135279

Author metadata editing gadget

A cross-wiki gadget (all language wikisource using one gadget) to edit authors' metadata on Wikidata, from Wikisource. Building a gadget will help because we wont have to leave Wikisource worth trying

Localisation via commons perhaps? e.g. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Data:I18n/Template:Graphs.tab

Documentation is essential (qv. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T153332 too)

WikiCite 2017

WikiCite ! Wikidata data, gadgets/stuff specific for Wikisource needs.
