Where to find pages in need of maintenance सम्पाद्यताम्
First, you might browse Category:विकिस्रोतसः निर्वहणम्.
Alternatively, you may find pages that need help while you are browsing the site or looking for something else.
General सम्पाद्यताम्
The {{header}} might be missing some things. Author, translator, title
Year सम्पाद्यताम्
All works in the main namespace should have a year of publication in the header but many are missing this piece of information. The header has a parameter for this:
| year =.
If this is not present, it can be added. Only the year of publication can be recorded. If the day and date are known, they can be entered under the notes parameter for users to read.
If a year is not possible, decade or century can be added here instead. (eg. "1950s" or "19th century".) Use the year wherever you can.
All works with no year are listed here: Category:Undated works
Licences सम्पाद्यताम्
All works should be licensed to show that they are legal to hosted on Wikisource and how they can be reused by readers.
Most common... PD-old PD-1923 PD-US-no-renewal PD-1996
Fed Gov etc

All works without a license template are listed here: Category:Works with no license template

Wikify सम्पाद्यताम्
Wikisource's style guide describes how a page should look. Some pages on Wikisource do not match the style guide. These pages should be edited to fix them.
Some pages are copied with "OCR errors" (mistakes made by a computer) and other problems. Often these pages are not backed by a scanned source.
