Description

Transclusion ( https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Help:Transclusion ) is the task the most difficult to understand in Wikisource, specially for non-computer savvy people. It would be great if it gets implemented into the VisualEditor as a nicer UI than just a simple edit widget for the <pages> tag

It might be easier to create a gadget similar to the Pagelist Widget.

The easiest option might be to use the existing BookReader tool and build a widget similar to the Pagelist widget.

The user workflow might look like the following:

  1. Contributor creates the table of contents (TOC)
  2. The widget uses the TOC and the bookreader tool to open up a dialog box.
  3. Contributor adds the page number for different sections in the text boxes.
  4. Contributor reviews the results before the widget create the main page & the sub pages.
