Comma
Can the comma be removed from this template? Using it with any other quotation template means there will be two commas displayed (see comprehender). Nadando 22:22, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Agree, at least add a parameter for omitting it, otherwise one cannot even use it with . Compare : even though there are only CE dates gives CE, so one needs to use  and omit the comma in .  Fay Freak (talk) 16:44, 12 April 2019 (UTC)

Template needs emending
It's good to have a clear template and provide a link to the glossary, but this is overlong. If we're just going to write out circa, we can go a step farther and be even more clear and just write out "around" or "about". The entire purpose of using c. is that it's an easy abbreviation, not that we're trying to teach Latin vocabulary or make ourselves look clever. — LlywelynII  01:00, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

Better
But worth pointing out that the standard at Wikipedia is to give circa as c. without the Latiny italics. It's become naturalized.

Not sure if there's a similar policy here or not. — LlywelynII  04:14, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
