User:SBJohnny/Print version thinksheet

The following are some ideas I'd like to use for making the author list for "page-by-page" printouts from A Wikimanual of Gardening. What I'd like to do is to make collections of pages to give or sell to people.

Items in boldface really need a bot, most of the other stuff needs a thinking human being.

Attribution for text

 * Count top 10 contributors, not including IPs
 * Check original contribution... if stub, disregard and use edit count
 * For transwikis, check top authors after import has taken place, as well as before.
 * Use templates to query authors on whether they'd like to be attributed using their wiki names or real names
 * Configure the bot to recognize those authors who have been contacted and provided real names, etc.
 * Make a list of the top 5 (maybe the top 5 on both projects for transwiki)... double check to make sure none of these are vandals/spammers, keep going down top 10 list until 5 "good" contributors are listed
 * Use a printonly div at the bottom of the page

Attribution for photos

 * List photos used (top to bottom), using filename
 * Attribute to wiki-name according to license, but make inquiries for proper attribution (again, get bot to log)
 * Attribute PD and GFDL as well as CC.
 * Include this in the printonly div below the text author list.

Print style

 * Use the "book over chapter" heading
 * (see my monobook.js and monobook.cs for details)
 * Hide link to main book and categories
 * Use page break divs to prevent broken text, headers appearing at the bottom of a page, etc.
 * Use a standard margin width to allow maximum use of paper space, while allowing for 3-hole paper for a ring binder.
 * For thumbnail galleries, but the gallery in a no-print div, with a printonly div suggesting readers see the online version for more photos, etc.
