Created page with '==Editing Completed Pages== ===Process=== =====Selecting pages to edit===== *Go to the page List of Complete Compilations to find the list o…'

New page

==Editing Completed Pages==

===Process===

=====Selecting pages to edit=====

*Go to the page [[Special:CompleteCompilations | List of Complete Compilations]] to find the list of pages completed and ready for editing.
*Select a page to edit by clicking on "edit this page" (second column from the right) - your name will then appear as Editor.
*Click on the page link (first column on the left) to go to the page.
*When you have finished editing the page, go back to the List and check the box "edited" (at the far right).

'''''Note:''''' Do not select pages for which you are listed as the compiler (we want another pair of eyes doing the final editing!)

=====Navigating the List=====

*To go forward or backward to other pages in the list, use the green arrows ("previous/next") at upper and lower right of the table.
*To view the list of pages that have already been edited, click on the header "Edited" (far right-hand column).

===Checklist for self-editing and third-party editors===

====Standard formatting====

=====Expressions=====
*Expressions list present
*Expression highlighted in each quote

[[Manual:Vaniquotes_compiler_guide_(2.0)#Correcting_errors|How to correct errors]]

=====Speakers=====

*'''Section standards'''
**Conversations: always include speaker’s name (even if only Prabhupada speaks)
**Lectures: include speakers’ names if more than just Prabhupada; otherwise, do not
***exception - Philosophy Discussions: always include speaker’s name (just like Conversations)

*'''Layout'''
**The first line with the speaker’s name should always begin at the left-hand margin (on the next line after the Vanisource reference)

[[Manual:Vaniquotes_compiler_guide_(2.0)#Correcting_errors|How to correct these errors]]

=====Body of Quote=====
Some common errors that might occur in the main body of the quote are:

*Initial letter missing from first word
*Letter(s) missing from the end of the last word
*Wiki code appearing with the quote text (in view mode) - [details as to why/how to fix]
*Extra Vanisource reference appearing at the end of the quote - [why/how to fix]
*Diacritics missing

=====Translation-and-purport quotes=====
*Translation and purport have 1 blank line space between

[[Manual:Vaniquotes_compiler_guide_(2.0)#Correcting_errors|How to correct this error]]

=====Punctuation in quotations=====

'''Note: These must be fixed manually by the compiler.''' Thus, such errors will likely occur frequently.

*For quotes within quotes: be sure that the inner set of marks are singles, not doubles
*When the text is a quoted segment: be sure that there are quotation marks (inverted commas) at both the beginning and the end of the quote.
*For cited verses: be sure that apostrophes ['] are not showing up as doubles ["].

[[Manual:Vaniquotes_compiler_guide_(2.0)#Correcting_errors|'''Examples of errors and how to correct them''']] - use text below in separate section

=====Headings=====
*Consistent throughout page ('with headings' or 'without headings')
*Headings may always be omitted from short, translation-only quotes
*Should appear in bold green font

====Page content====

=====Notes from the compiler=====
*Irrelevant notes should be deleted (e.g. a note about a missing quote which has subsequently been inserted)
*Other, relevant notes should remain (e.g. notes regarding VedaBase queries, bad reference links, explanation of page content, etc)

=====Headings=====
*should read clearly and reasonably easily
*should have no errors in spacing, punctuation, etc
*should be complete sentences ending with full stop (period)
*should contain the expression
**Exceptions:
***when Prabhupada does not use the expression himself
***when the expression appears only in the translation of a verse which is repeated several times throughout the page

=====Vanisource references=====

Vanisource references should be correct and properly inserted.
*The reference given is for the text from which the quote was taken, not for the text immediately following in VedaBase
*Translations are shown as translations and not as purports
*No red error messages showing (e.g. "reference not found", etc)

'''Vanisource reference errors not always obvious, but many can be detected during editing if you know what to look for. [[Manual:Vaniquotes_compiler_guide_(2.0)#Vanisource_reference_errors|Click here for more information]].'''

=====Page facts=====
*Completed sections - should be marked “ALL” (with no goal showing in view mode)

(The rest of the page facts are fully automated, so there should be no need to do a detailed check on the other data.)

=====Categories=====
*At least one category link for each page
*No category links should be in red font

::''Note: there may be scope to update or refine the category linking

link: How to make corrections/updates

=====Quotes compiled=====

Quotes should ''not'' be compiled from the following:
*synonyms (word-for-word translation section);
*quotes from an appendix or index;
*text segments written by the publishers, not by Srila Prabhupada (e.g. forewords);
*purports from SB Canto 10.14 through Canto 12;
*verse summaries at the beginning of LOB, ISO, MM, NBS;
*quotes in which the expression appears only in a reading being done by a devotee and is not further commented upon by Prabhupada;
*quotes in which the expression is used by someone other than Prabhupada and Prabhupada does not offer further commentary in connection with the expression.

====Conversion issues====

There may be errors in older pages stemming from the conversion from our previous 1.0 compiling system to the present 2.0 system.

! Issue
! Solution
|-
| Pages not being accessible for compiling (i.e. compile tools will not open)
| Report to the [[Manual:Vaniquotes_compiler_guide_(2.0)#Vaniquotes_debugging_report_list|debugging document (sheet: "conversion issues")]]

|-
| Incorrect formatting (line spacing incorrect, headings not in green, etc)
|
*First try refreshing the page (click "refresh" tab, located in view mode above the page title, far right).
*If this does not fix the problem, try updating the affected quotes.
*If neither of these options works, report to the [[Manual:Vaniquotes_compiler_guide_(2.0)#Vaniquotes_debugging_report_list|debugging document (sheet: "conversion issues")]].

|-
| Translations showing up as purports (this can be tricky - [[Manual:Vaniquotes_compiler_guide_(2.0)#Translations_incorrectly_formatted_as_purports|click here]] for more information)
