The idea
In MLA, a container is the larger work that holds a shorter one, and its title follows the shorter work's title in the entry.
In practice
An article's container is its journal; a web page's is the website; an article read in a database has a second container, the database.
Where people slip
List containers in order from smaller to larger.
