Simple, yes. Obvious, maybe not!

The 'list texts' page is not actually listing uploaded texts, it's
listing structure nodes with depth 0. The wikisource import script
will create such a node and populate it with the name and description
of the text, this is what you see in the list. In the (near) future
this list will display fragments of bibJSON associated with each node
but to get things working just copy the form used by the
import-wikisource.js script in the src/tools directory.

That should work, let me know if it doesn't!
