Description

Author: Graf.Zahl

Description:
Currently, if you have a scanned page

Image:somepage.png

on commons, you can very conveniently proofread it on wikisource using the
ProofreadPage extension by creating

Page:somepage.png

However, if you have

Media:somebook.djvu

you currently have no way of accessing the pages with ProofreadPage. It would be
a great combination of two very useful functionalities if one could access a
page like

Media:somebook.djvu?page=42

via ProofreadPage through, say,

Page:somebook.djvu/42

Thanks!

I can only support this, your presentation of djvu und commons is excellent, it
would be pleasant to have the same features available in wikisource.

Especially direkt adressing and displaying a single page, as mentioned above
would be excellent to support our work.

Supporting this suggestion, at least ''somehow'' to make djvu work in the
proofread link. I already came across an interesting de.wikisource text which I
would have proofread (at least partly) if I had been able. Since I've got only a
17" monitor it is not ''that'' easy to sort browser windows into a
proofread-friendly order.
