[edit] See also

Do we have any guidelines as to the intended purpose of the "See also" section ? I believe the links in the "See also" should be to other articles containing additional information about the content of the current article, and maybe present the topic in a wider or a narrower context. "See also" however is not the correct place to put links to other articles only because they belong to the same category. That's what the categories are for. --Lysy^talk 16:24, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

"See also" section has a much narrower scope than a category, if it links to closely related topics I see no problem with it. M0RD00R (talk) 17:17, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

See Wikipedia:SEEALSO. I agree that number of links should be minimized.--_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 17:32, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

The problem is that "closely related topics" is still very arbitrary and some editors use it to promote their political or other agendas. Maybe it would be a good practice to provide a short description/explanation of why a link is closely related to the article ? Then it would be apparent if there indeed is a close relation to the article's subject, or whether it is purely one of the "another article on ..." type of link, in which case a category would be appropriate but not the "See also" section. --Lysy^talk 17:31, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
