The "Notes" subsection under "Standard appendices and descriptions" doesn't really say what the "Notes" section should contain, but the implication is pretty clear. The current "Notes" section of this article, contrary to the subsection describing "Notes" sections, does not contain footnotes which

In actuality, "See also" has been before "References" since it's first introduction. "Notes" was introduced in between the two, and since that time, "See also" has always been before "Notes" except for one period of less than 24 hours over the course of 4.5 years that the "See also" section (or its

I've protected because of the reverting. Anyone wanting to change this guideline should first make sure his proposals are consistent with related policies and guidelines (and actual practice), and should then propose them on talk, rather than inserting them first and reverting over objections.
546:
It's a guideline and best practice, not a policy. Articles have see also sections because nobody has taken the time to link the topics to well-written text in the article. It's a goal many articles never reach, but a perfect article won't have a see also section and a middling article will.

698:
I don't see any need to change what's there now, but I particularly object to No. 2 (followed by a short explanation or comment). We certainly don't need to start loading up the See also section with commentary, as those descriptions could become a source of problems.

565:) and attempting to enforce a hard and fast rule will only cause teeth gnashing. I'll revert now at least until a consensus emerges here to the opposite. The point of bolding was that new links should be integrated in the articles, and not dumped in "See also". 387:. These are rough drafts, so please correct me where I have erred on layout. Issues like the disappearing vertical line on the left will be corrected too of course, I just don't want to put too much effort into this if people think it's a bad idea. 760:
These sections are often brought in after the Reference section, because the references are often abbreviated and refer to works listed in Bibliography/Further reading. This is entirely logical, useful, and should be reflected in this document.

Of course, we have to avoid the repetition of every link from the article (your "link farms"), but you should leave it to the discretion of the article editors to decide which links are important enough to be listed under

Well, my first message to him was erased. Not sure if it was intentional, so I left him another just in case. I'm not optimistic about him bothering to take the section order history into consideration, though.

I don't believe they are fundamental navigation aids. I put in what is already in practice, that editors regularly cull these out. If a topic is important enough to be mentioned, it can be mentioned in the

Perhaps someone else could have a word with him? He's "banned" me from his talk page for having brought this up. Apparently it makes me part of a conspiracy of editors who he claims harass him.

I'm not a policy expert, but I think the answer is no. Each Knowledge (XXG) is separate, so an article on another Knowledge (XXG) (one of the other languages) is an external link. --

Uh, yes it does, the little bit after the number 1. You will see there is a superscripted in the description which generates the note in the article Notes section.

I finish fixing it a few hours later when I notice that I hadn't reverted the whole change. 657:
Sometimes, missing aspects of an article are added as a "See also" link as a quick fix - these entries should be expanded into article text.

I think your diff is broken. I made that change. What do you strongly disagree with? See also sections shouldn't be link farms.

And it makes sense, because See also is wikified content; we prefer to direct readers to Wiki content before off-Wiki content.
