“ When a work is published as a single book it is easy to proofread and host on Wikisource: all of the pages are together in the right order and can be transcluded into one page, or one page and its subpages. Works are not always published in so convenient ways, however. Sometimes a work is published in multiple, separate parts. This can cause problems in putting everything back together properly on Wikisource.
Background sister projects: Wikipedia article. Works of both fiction and non-fiction can be published as serial works. The whole work is split up and published separately in instalments. ”

“ The problem If the serial work is represented on Wikisource in instalments, it will be difficult to read. A reader may not be interested in the rest of a periodical and they might be confused the subpage structure or separate pages. As an editor, it can be awkward to link up the different parts of a work when it is spread over different pages (and not sequential subpages) . It would just be convenient to have everything in the same place. ”
