Change Details

The current badges that exist for Wikisource interwikis are the traditional not proofread/proofread/validated/problematic that reflect the readiness of work through a transcription/proofing process. This approach works well for old paper-published works. That approach, however, does not work for modern digital documents which come ready and where we need to demonstrate their status outside of the ordinary. Accordingly I put that to the community [[https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata talk:Wikisource#Badges: proposing a WS badge for digital documents|here]]. As the German Technical Information Library is looking to migrate open source works to the Wikisources, it is opportune to look to progress the matter. So can we please coordinate the addition of a fifth badge for the use of the Wikisources, "digital" and if you are asking for a colour, I would have said grey or blue. Thanks.
