I have a set of documents with existing transcriptions that I’d like to import into scripto to have users review/correct/add to. I figured out how to import items and transcriptions into omeka and mediawiki with the API based on this thread Scripto: Import pre-existing transcription INTO Mediawiki - #5 by Wernazuma and this script TopUrbiProject/Python/topurbi_createmwpages_transcriptionalcedo.py at main · PSIG-EHESS/TopUrbiProject · GitHub but I’d like to understand the logic of how scripto/mediawiki handles pages better.
Does each page of a document need to be imported as a separate media file in order for the association between pages of a document and pages of a transcription be made correctly? In my first test run I imported a set of multi-page pdfs as a single media file, and then imported their transcriptions to mediawiki page by page. The transcriptions appear correctly in mediawiki page by page, but only the first page of transcription appears on each omeka item and all documents display as 1 page. Should I be breaking my media files up into individual pages instead?
