ShakespeareFan00 added a comment.

  It's a subpage.  It was created to hold the extensive sidetitles (which 
mediawiki can't support natively) on the main-page, so that there was more 
flexibility as to how they could be presented on different devices.   
Wikisource has templates like AuthorityControl to read in footnotes from an 
external page. However that template can't be used (due to limitations in how 
the Labelled Section Transclusion works) to do the same thing for content that 
would be on the "same" page., Hence the marginals are on a subpage..   I will 
note that the approach taken here was highly experimental in nature, and not 
finalised.
  
  A long term solution to the issue of sidenotes/sidetitles would be an 
entirely different ticket (most likely as an update to the Cite Extension) to 
permit their use without the 'too clever to be stable' workarounds applied 
here...
