====Single-Page Volumes====
For works hosted on a single page, the Related Pages section should link to genuinely related works and encyclopedic articles. These may include other works by the same author, comparable works by other authors, and relevant articles that provide useful historical, biographical, or subject-matter context.
Links should be selective and relevant to the work. This section is intended to help readers discover related material within Conservapedia, not to provide external references or an exhaustive list of every subject mentioned in the text.
====Multi-Page Volumes====
====Multi-Page Volumes====
For multi-page works, such as books published chapter by chapter, the Related Pages section serves a different purpose from the Contents section. It connects readers to the author, the work itself, and relevant encyclopedic articles concerning the subject matter of the individual chapter.
The Related Pages section must include the following:
* '''1. Standard author and work links:''' Include the author's encyclopedic article and the encyclopedic article for the work itself, where available and appropriate. These standard links should remain consistent throughout the volume.
* '''2. Chapter-specific encyclopedic links:''' Include a selective list of relevant encyclopedic articles concerning significant people, places, institutions, historical events, movements, works, or concepts discussed in the particular chapter.
* '''3. Relevant variation between chapters:''' Chapter-specific links should reflect the actual content of each chapter. They should vary where the subject matter differs, rather than being copied mechanically from one chapter to another.
* '''4. Selective inclusion:''' Include subjects that provide useful context for readers or connect the source to important areas of encyclopedic coverage. Do not attempt to reproduce every internal link appearing in the chapter, and do not include incidental subjects merely to lengthen the list.
* '''5. Internal links only:''' Related Pages entries must link to relevant Conservapedia encyclopedic articles or appropriate proposed article destinations. External references do not belong in this section.
* '''6. Verified and canonical titles:''' Use accurate existing article titles wherever they can be established. Where a useful article does not exist, use the best-supported canonical title in accordance with the project's Internal Linking Rules. Do not claim that a page or redirect exists unless its existence has been verified.
====Relationship Between Contents and Related Pages====
The Contents section and the Related Pages section have distinct purposes and must not be treated as interchangeable.
* '''Contents''' provides the complete list of chapters belonging to the volume. It must remain consistent across the volume, subject only to verified corrections or authorised changes to the work's structure.
* '''Related Pages''' provides links to the author, the work's encyclopedic article, and a selective set of relevant encyclopedic subjects discussed in the individual chapter. Its chapter-specific entries may therefore vary from page to page.
Do not list every chapter of a multi-page work in Related Pages merely to provide volume navigation. That function belongs to Contents and the established Index section. Equally, do not shorten or alter Contents to accommodate chapter-specific encyclopedic links.
The purpose of this distinction is to maintain consistent navigation throughout the volume while connecting each chapter to the wider Conservapedia encyclopedia. This supports useful internal linking, reader navigation, and a coherent relationship between original sources and encyclopedic coverage, without implying a guaranteed search-engine ranking benefit.
