I decided to junk this convolute and contorted method of citing Strabo. For one thing it never links to any strabo, only to WP articles on Strabo. Also, most people never heard of Casubon and here we have to try and find him on the network. By why Casubon? The Loebs are on the Internet, such as Internet Archive, and Perseus has a full run in both English and Greek. We don't need a link there. Let the user use any Strabo he wants. We only need cite the Greek standard MSS location. They can find it perfectly well for themselves without us trying to tell them what edition of what translation when. Or non-translation. But, we should save them having to do even that. A few text quotes are fine. Why make them bother? I think this template comes from the early days of WP when some people were obsessed with overtemplatizing everything. Generally these overtemplatized templates don't fit most circumstances.Botteville (talk) 20:55, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
