I would see more items to watchlist, as in place of one large item you would have all the components to worry about. I don't follow the easier to de-orphanise aspect. Also don’t see how having to have the reference section on half a dozen sub-articles is simpler than having the whole list on one. In the extreme case where no reference is used in multiple sections, it would be roughly the same, where a reference is used across several sections, which is common, it looks like more work: from a little more, to a lot more. Unless I misunderstand your meaning... Cheers, Peter
