At the moment, following Linda, bibliographical references are provided in text, either in fulla form or using short titles; the bibliography lists all the literature cited. It is kept up to date manually. The obvious drawback is that the more the descriptions of the collections are revised, the more difficult it is to keep track of all the literature cited; also, the more substantial the bibliography the more cumbersome to use it becomes (though this is only an inconvenience, and a minor one, not really a problem). Alternatively, one could try the following:

  • Create (automatically) one page for each book/article. The page title should be identical to the short title (e.g. "Agustin, Dialogi").
  • All such pages are placed in a new category "Bibliography".
  • All citation of the relevant book are replaced (again, hopefully automatically) by a reference containing a link to the respective page.

This way, one can easily jump from the short title to the full reference, and instead of manually keeping the bibliography up to date, we can use the respective category. -- Christof Rolker (talk) 11:00, 31 May 2023 (CEST)

a side issue may be the "author" template which makes sure authors' names are in small caps. C
