OK, I think I understand now: the issue is that Wikisource wants language links on edition pages not from that edition's data item (since an edition can generally only exist in one language anyway), but wants to use the items of different editions of the same work in different languages to generate language links. A long as there is only one edition per language, this would work: Lua could generate the corresponding language links (we may have to tweak the lua binding a bit, but that should not be a problem). However, MediaWiki only supports one link per target site in the sidebar. Maybe an on-page navigation box could be used instead of "proper" language links? With the help of JavaScript, the contents of that nav box could then be moved into the sidebar. That's a bit hackish, but would work ok, I think. > On Wikisource I don't think it is necessary to have always a "work page", this > only happens when there is more than one edition for any given language.
