Optional would be my preference. I utilise my sidebar for other components especially with Pathoschild's TemplateScript. So it pushes those components down to far when editing. Also, the English Wikisource already has predominant, overt linking so it becomes a duplication, and at this stage the community has not considered that they desire a change. So at this stage letting users operate their views would be preferable.
