Sometimes we want to express loose relationships between destination guides and other guides, itineraries or travel topics (or other articles). The destination guide for a place and a part of that place, like California and Southern California, is a "tight" relationship, but the relationship between California and a travel topic like Off-road vehicles in California is loose.

This gives us the ability to concentrate on "core" travel guides for a general audience and still make space for related articles for more specific use.

In addition, some places have "loose" relationships that should be called out. Someone considering Acapulco as a destination might benefit from a gentle suggestion to also look at other Mexican beach cities like Cancun, Mazatlan, and Cozumel.

For presentation, we can have an area in the left-hand nav bar for related places, itineraries, travel topics, etc.

[edit] Templates

A simple template, Template:Related, defines the relationship to the other article. On Singapore, we'd have:

 {{related|Three_days_in_Singapore}}
 

On Acapulco, we'd have:

 {{related|Cancun}}
 {{related|Mazatlan}}
 {{related|Cozumel}}

[edit] Notes

At some point in the future, the related articles section might be split up by article type (phrasebooks, itineraries, etc.).
