"Short works" (i.e. a sonnet) are really a hard issue.
Just to remember two other issues:
1. IMHO translations are not works, the work being a unique "abstract" item
(Iliad)
2. sometimes the author reviewes it work and produces a substantially
different "derived" work (ie. Fermo e Lucia vs I Promessi sposi; different
revisions of Orlando Furioso). IMHO any of these should be considered
different works.

Anika,
That is matter long resolved in my opinion with the change in the default
search namespaces that the communities made, and similarly with our
redefining content namespaces. While main namespace will always take
preference to the other nss in results, they show up pretty quickly where
you have an intitle: match.
At enWS I would say that we lost more searches to subpages, so with the
ability to change your search preferences with subphrase matches, much of
that is addressed (though it is not the default search configuration at
this point).
The completion suggester
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Extension:CirrusSearch/CompletionSuggester>
is an algorithm for search suggestions with better typo correction and
search relevance.
Default (recommended)
Corrects up to two typos. Resolves close redirects.
Subphrase matching (recommended for longer page titles)
Corrects up to two typos. Resolves close redirects. Matches subphrase in
titles.
Strict mode (advanced)
No typo correction. No accent folding. Strict matching.
Redirect mode (advanced)
No typo correction. Resolves close redirects.
Redirect mode with subphrase matching (advanced)
No typo correction. Resolves close redirects. Matches subphrase in titles.
Regards, Billinghurst

From afar, the Opera: pages on it.ws are very close to the pages with
the template {{Éditions}} on fr.ws or the template {{Versions}} on en.ws
(and similar system elsewhere).
The main difference is having a separate namespace A second major
difference is that the templates on fr.ws and en.ws are very light while
the {{Opera}} template took data from Wikidata (but that's an independent
problem, it's possible to change the {{Éditions}} or {{Versions}} templates
to do exactly the same thing without having a specific namespace).
I'm almost convinced too, but in order to create a new namespace on a
project you have to convinced the local community. That's why I'm still
playing the Devil's advocate role and want to learn about the inconvenients
of this system
A reason why there are no different namespaces for work-, edition-,
author-, list- and other portal pages in de.ws is the ws-search. When you
are looking for "Goethe" in the (simple) search (as readers may do) on WS,
you might get to
*
https://de.wikisource.org/wiki/Tafellied,_zu_Goethe%E2%
80%99s_Geburtstage but not to
*
https://de.wikisource.org/wiki/Johann_Wolfgang_von_Goethe
<https://de.wikisource.org/wiki/Johann_Wolfgang_von_Goethe#Bibliographien>
with all the interesting stuff, if that page was in another namespace...
So there was the desition to use templates (and categories) for these
different kind of pages:
https://de.wikisource.org/
wiki/Wikisource:Seiten_zu_Autoren,_Texten,_Themen,_Listen
<https://de.wikisource.org/wiki/Wikisource:Seiten_zu_Autoren,_Texten,_Themen,_Listen>
I think German Wikisource Community won't give this up and switch to using
multiple namespaces (besides Wikisource: and Page:namespace).
Best
Anika
