The book upload customization is a suggested enhancement to the UploadWizart which would cater for the special needs of the Wikisource community. It would be activated as a campaign, and this parameter would activate some special features:
- On the "Upload" screen there would be another button labeled as "Import book" which would activate a similar functionality as now provides the "Internet Archive Import tool" (https://toolserver.org/~tpt/iaUploadBot/step1.php).
- On the "Describe" screen there would be an additional option to import external metadata from external sources either in MARC, BibJson or others. Currently MARCSMAN exists as a standalone tool (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/MARCsman)
- Extra data fields for books
- Store all book meta data in the commons Template:Book (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Book)
- Create automatically an "Index:" page on Wikisource with the relevant data.
- FUTURE: When Wikidata is deployed on Commons and Wikisoruce, create an item in Wikidata with book meta data and link the fields both in Commons and in Wikisource.
