• Improving quality of workpage metadata: updating work info fields to align with current practice, fixing typos, etc.
• Modernizing a few composer "list of works" pages to match current guidelines.
• Improving coverage of first editions for certain composers, especially for works that only have a first edition reprint.

J.S. Bach manuscript coverage

I helped improve coverage of J.S. Bach manuscripts, so far just for the Inventions and Sinfonias. Listed below are the manuscripts that are currently available on IMSLP and those that might be of interest to add in the future.

Other

• Sanity checked external "scanner" links to SLUB scores. These links should redirect successfully to a web viewer of the score. To carry out the sanity checks, I used a Python script to detect the affected work pages using the mediawiki API. The script had the user-agent header "imslp-query/0.0.1 (User:Pnorcks)". Actual edits were made in-browser.
• Updated the Witvogel publisher page to transclude the list of published works.
• Uploaded a few more Witvogel editions not yet available on IMSLP.
• Uploaded my first scan, the Witvogel edition of Scarlatti's Essercizi per gravicembalo with the alternate title "XXX Sonate per il Clavicembalo solo" ("30 Sonatas for solo Harpsichord").
