The more I read about it-ws Opera namespace, the more I'm interested in it.
On frws we use "multiple editions" a lot, especially on poems and short stories, that have been published in different collections. Do you do that too ?
Also, I had a fantasy, these past weeks, working about "work items" on wikidata, that we could point on wikisource "work" page, whether we have 1 or multiple editions.
Presently, when, for a poem, we have only 1 edition, we put it in its collection subpage, and keed the poem title as redirect, then transform it to "multiple editions" when we get some. This totally prevents to add those to wikidata, because redirects are not supported ; thus, editions are added to work items, by adding redirects.
I was wondering whether adding a template similar to "redirect with possibility" (enwp) could help solve this problem.
Wonder what solution would be best, considering that the creation of a full-developped "work-page" on a poem could be tricky...
So, what do you think all of you ?

For the "work" concept, Italian Wikisource decided to create a real and new namespace, "Opera" (which means work). It's the one page where we store the links to multiple editions of a certain book we have.
It's not a disambiguation page in the sense that a disambiguation page works with different books from different authors with the same title e.g. "Poems"...

I forgot about that too. Aubrey; Could you tell us the advantage and inconvenient of this system (and in comparison to the 'multiple editions' pages of the others Wikisources).

PS: this is the kind of question that would be interesting to have during a hangout session like we had (I will write a separate mail to re-launch them)
