What are Related Articles pages?

"Related Articles" pages, such as Biology/Related, link to a hand-picked set of other Citizendium articles. These pages list subtopics, parent topics, and other related topics. They also list, or should list, definitions of each linked-to article.

Purpose

Taken together, "Related Articles" pages will compose a hand-created category scheme. This could be of great help not only to Citizendium users who are looking for more general or more specific information, but also to designers of taxonomies and other tools for search and artificial intelligence.

Moreover, with definitions listed with each topic, the list of "related topics" serves double duty as a glossary of related terms.

Heading and format standards

Canonical headings for Related Articles lists

The following is a canonical list of "related articles" headings. Please either use a heading from this list or, f you do not see an appropriate heading, please add to the list.

  • Parent topics
  • Subtopics
    • Subdisciplines
  • Other related topics

How to link to articles

Links should be created using bulleted lists and, where there are more than a dozen entries or so, two columns, created using {{col-begin}}, {{col-break}}, and {{col-end}}.

Links should also be created using the {{r}} template. See "subpage-specific procedures" below for usage notes.
