To be sure, if an article contains a BTS and a "see also" section, BTS should precede SA. I do not believe, however, that either section should be mandatory. In fact, I believe that most "see also" sections are extremely lazy and redundant. If you link to the article in the text, you don't need to do a separate link in a "see also" section. And if you ''don't'' link to an article in the text, then the chances are extremely high that the connection between the page you're editing and the page you're "see also-ing" isn't a strong one. There are simply ''very'' few times where you ''need'' a "see also" section, provided you've written the article well. | #--'''[[User:CzechOut|<span style="background:blue;color:white">Czech</span><span style="background:red;color:white">Out</span>]]''' [[User talk:CzechOut|☎]] | [[Special:Contributions/CzechOut|<font size="+1">✍</font>]] 15:32, January 6, 2011 (UTC) Not really a vote for "stay the same", but a vote against the proposed change.

#See also, by its very nature, | #'See also', by its very nature, is out-universe. It is the editor ''suggesting'' related pages to the reader, so it is written from an out-universe perspective. --[[User:Bold Clone|<span style="color:blue">'''Bold'''</span>]] [[User Talk:Bold Clone|<span style="color:gold">'''Clone'''</span>]] 17:50, January 7, 2011 (UTC) | ||
