Links Galore spreadsheet: direct link to Loebs page blocked by spam blacklist.[edit]

Links Galore is a Google Sheets spreadsheet which is an important list of links to public-domain (or controlled-digital-lending) copies of (mostly) eighteenth-to-twentieth-century scholarly editions of classical and European medieval texts. Its Loebs page presently lists many scans which are not yet listed on Loeb Classical Library, and it's still being actively worked on so it is likely to list more new scans in the future. So I have added it to Loeb Classical Library#External links, but I can only link the spreadsheet as a whole, not the one page which lists the Loebs, because links to individual pages in the spreadsheet fall foul of the spam blacklist. Please consider speaking up to support my requests on English Wikisource and English Wikipedia to have this fixed—or acting on them, if you have the power to do this.

I've managed to make a link which goes directly to the Loeb page without triggering the blacklist. However please still support my requests, as people shouldn't have to mess with query strings to add working links from Wikimedia sites to Links Galore, and others are likely to just give up rather than figure out how.

Names of volumes[edit]

Some of the volumes are at the name of the work, and some at the Loeb reference number. We ought to have them consistent - which should we use ? -- Beardo (talk) 21:02, 30 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
