Tpt mentioned testing. Cc quality assurance list: if they're available 
to give some pointers, maybe experienced Wikisource users could help by 
writing a bunch of acceptance tests/feature descriptions, i.e. "stories" 
of how things are supposed to work, in plain English, designed to be 
later made into "proper" regular tests.

This is an example (I don't know how current) for another extension, 
ULS. 
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Language_Testing_Plan/ULS_Test_Scenarios>
Coding, refactoring, maintaining and running such sets of tests is a 
huge burden, but writing down things could make it easier to choose a 
subset of them to focus on/commit to.
