As far as I see there is a link to the commons page for an image, which might be fine as long as the pdf is still in the computer. But the license and authors for images should be shown after printing it too. Can it be a list after the contributors? /[[User:Ainali|Ainali]] 17:23, 21 February 2009 (UTC) |

Question: Principal Authors
How is the list of principal authors computed? It looks as if any contributor is listed.
- Currently there is no consensus on "who are the principal authors" in the community. Therefore all contributors are mentioned. --he!ko 19:19, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
Proposal: Add a table of contents
Did you consider to add a table of contents at the first page of the PDF? I think this might improve usability of larger PDFs. --he!ko 15:57, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
Question: Differences between printed books and downloadable PDFs
I created a book and downloaded the PDF. When I wanted to order a printed book with pediapress and looked at the preview I noticed various differences!?
- The layout of printed books differs, as a technology more suitable for printed books is used to generate the PDFs. Printed books feature a Table of Contents, an Index, have a different size (A5 or 8.5×5.5in) and images and tables are layouted differently. The downloadable PDF looks ok when printed (A4) at home and can be generated within a reasonable amount of time. The PDF of printed books is optimized for print and its generation takes way too long to be a viable alternative for Wikipedia. --he!ko 19:56, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
Bug: <poem/>-tag not supported
It looks like the <poem/>-tag is not supported (example). He!ko 16:08, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
Bug: License in the PDF looks strange
Any PDF created from an article on the French Wikipedia has two weird bits :
- Just before the license, a grey frame saying "Raccourcis [1]ées/Licence&hidetrans=1&hidelinks=1&hideimages=1 +"
- Juste after, the text "[1] http:/ / fr. wikipedia. org/ w/ index. php?title=Special:Pages_li" under the heading "Liens externes".
See for example the page http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utilisateur:Korrigan/bug1, whose PDF is here. (reported by fr:Utilisateur:Korrigan, moved here).--he!ko 19:09, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
I should maybe add that the name of the license (GFDL) does not appear on the French Wikipedia, and maybe it is linked to this problem? le Korrigan →bla 08:26, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
- The logfiles hint to [1] as being the license used, at least for de:. Need to investigate further. --he!ko 09:49, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
Bug: PNG logo has a black background
On the article fr:Star Wing (PDF), on page 10, the logo is a PNG with a transparent background but is rendered with a black background. I haven't seen other images doing this. le Korrigan →bla 08:15, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
Bug: Weird indent with bullet points
On the article fr:Star Wing (PDF), page 15, the section "Médias externes" is rendered with a weird indent, possibly caused by the templates. Note that if you know which template or which aspect causes this and it is a fr.wikipedia-specific issue I can maybe address it but so far I don't know. Thanks! le Korrigan →bla 08:19, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
Bug: Infoboxes take up all width
On most French Wikipedia articles with an infobox (such as fr:Star Wing PDF, page 1), the infobox takes up all the width. And the title of the infobox is on the left and not centered. I do not know whether this is something to be solved by you or on fr.wikipedia, any advice would be welcomed :-) le Korrigan →bla 08:22, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
- This is a known issue and there is not much that can be done about that. Please see the FAQ for some limitations of this tool. --he!ko 14:52, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
Proposal: localise "Contributors" and "anonymous edits"
I can't seem to be able to localise the texts "Contributors" and "anonymous edits" on fr.wikipedia. We should be able to do so. Thanks. le Korrigan →bla 08:25, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
- These can be localized on betawiki --he!ko 14:54, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
Bug: Two supplementary external links
On fr:Star Wing (PDF), page 19, a new section "Liens externes" is added, with two external links pointing to the English Wikipedia. I think they are caused by the banner "Featured Article" at the end of the article, which has two external links itself (however not the same ones). le Korrigan →bla 08:28, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
Proposal: License and authors of images
As far as I see there is a link to the commons page for an image, which might be fine as long as the pdf is still in the computer. But the license and authors for images should be shown after printing it too. Can it be a list after the contributors? /Ainali 17:23, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
PDF Download doesn't run
Hello.
In this book, when I want to click on "Télécharger en PDF", it doesn't run. --ComputerHotline 12:10, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
- I notified the tech team but got no response yet. You may try to bother them also on IRC #wikimedia-tech. --he!ko 16:55, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
- "no space [was] left on device". Should be working again. --he!ko 13:38, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
