I'm proofreading a book, a biographic dictionary, which lists
information about 7500 people on 810 pages. Each person has
3-4 lines of text.
During proofreading, a page is a page, simple enough,
e.g.
http://sv.wikisource.org/wiki/Sida:Östgötars_minne.djvu/207
But how should such a work be transcluded into the main
namespace? Should each entry be its own chapter? It would
be convenient to be able to link directly to each person,
especially since they are numbered and sometimes referred
to by these numbers. But it would make for many tiny chapters
and a table of content that is almost as large as the book.
On the other hand, the printed table of content presents
three main chapters (A, B, C) of which chapter B covers
680 pages. The transclusion code <pages from=75 to=754/>
would generate one very long page.
How has this problem been dealt with before?
