==Info Panel Standard==
+
All Original Source Project pages must include a right‑aligned informational panel at the top of the page. It provides
 +
a consistent, structured summary of the author, work, publication details, and related pages. Regarding the ''related pages section'', in single‑page volumes the ''related pages section'' links to related volumes; but in the case of multi‑page volumes (classically large books), the ''related pages section'' not only acts as a navigation pane, but to a Search Engine crawl bot, it signals that these pages are a single book and there is a corresponding reward for this consistency granting an [[SEO]] boost. Therefore, for the benefit of all parties, the panel must follow the formatting rules below.

All Original Source Project pages must include a right‑aligned informational panel at the top of the page. The purpose of the info panel is to provide consistent metadata, internal link structure, and navigational context for readers. The panel must follow the formatting rules below.
+
==Required Sections==
 +
* Author biography (brief)
 +
* Birth and death details
 +
* Major works
 +
* Publication notes
 +
* Related Pages (see rules below)
 +
* Categories
 +
 
 +
==Related Pages Standard==
 +
===Single‑Page Volumes===
 +
The Related Pages section is recommended for linking to genuinely related volumes, such as similar works by the same author or comparable books by different authors.
 +
 
 +
===Multi‑Page Volumes===
 +
For multi‑page works (e.g., books with multiple chapters), the '''Related Pages''' section must list '''only the chapters belonging to that specific volume'''.
 +
 
 +
This section is not for general links, external references, or encyclopedia articles. It is strictly for ''volume navigation''.
 +
 
 +
==Required Format for Multi‑Chapter Works==
 +
Each chapter link must use the following simplification model to increase human readability and avoid appearing as a block of raw hyperlinks:
 +
 
 +
* [[Original Source: Sir Isaac Newton - Observations on Daniel, Chapter 1|''Observations on Daniel'', Chapter 1]]
 +
* [[Original Source: Sir Isaac Newton - Observations on Daniel, Chapter 2|''Observations on Daniel'', Chapter 2]]
 +
* [[Original Source: Sir Isaac Newton - Observations on Daniel, Chapter 3|''Observations on Daniel'', Chapter 3]]
 +
 
 +
This format ensures:
 +
* consistent naming
 +
* predictable link structure
 +
* readable chapter titles
 +
* strong internal SEO signals
 +
* clear volume identity
 +
* reliable navigation for editors and readers
 +
 
 +
==Important Rules==
 +
* The link '''must end with ]]''' and nothing may follow it except whitespace or a new line.
 +
* Do '''not''' include anchors, metadata, or comments after the closing brackets.
 +
* Do '''not''' include unrelated pages in the Related Pages section.
 +
* All chapter titles must follow the same naming pattern for consistency.
 +
 
 +
==SEO and Navigation Benefits==
 +
Using this model creates:
 +
* a dense internal link mesh
 +
* a coherent “volume identity”
 +
* improved crawlability for search engines
 +
* predictable structure for editors
 +
* stronger authority signals for the entire corpus
 +
 
 +
This is the recommended and required format for all multi‑page Original Source Project works.
