Talk:Humour

"See also" sections are deprecated

Jason, I've just pulled the "Related" section from the main page, as "see also" sections are deprecated.^[1] I've never quite seen it in such sharp focus before, but our pages are made up mostly of three parts:

The infobox (mostly human-written) on the right;
Prose (human-written) at the top;
Lists and tables (generated by Template:SMWDocs) at the bottom.

I prefer the automatically generated "Examples" section over the hand written flat list for two main reasons:

It has the description field, which updates automatically (for pages with descriptions, that is);
It doesn't contain red links because it expands/contracts automatically with addition/deletion of infobox data (e.g. "|constitutes=humour").

Red links, like those "webpage under construction" graphics from the early 2000s, tend to persist and just use up space. By contrast the standard structure makes for a better user experience in part because it is much lower maintenance (i.e. add Template:SMWDocs once on page creation and we're good).

Below is the section for your reference. One or two of the blue links already appear in the machine generated sections (currently just "Examples"). If you wish to link others then I recommend doing so either with infobox data or human written prose since these ways explain the relationship.
