This page is a portal to various community-related tasks, current events and discussions, and links to helpful pages.


Wikisource is a collaborative project building a library of free content texts using the wiki process. Everyone is more than welcome to join in! So far, our collection contains 120,984 text units. You can create and edit texts at Wikisource right now. If you haven't done so already, you may want to create an account, which provides a range of benefits.

If you're new to the project, please see our help pages which will explain anything you need to know. For discussions of current operations, policies, technical issues and other concerns of Wikisource editors, see the Scriptorium.

There are four parts to Wikisource...

Getting involved — Finding areas needing work — Collaborating — Improving and maintaining

You can pick and choose which areas you work on, but it's helpful if we try and cover a bit of each!

[edit] Improve and maintain

Use the sections here to list items that need improving.

[edit] Current and requested texts

A large variety of tasks are available, if you cannot find one to suit — start your own!

[edit] Still bored?

[edit] Get involved

New people are always welcome at Wikisource. Remember that Wikisource users are encouraged to be bold!
