Is there a distinction between the related articles page and the [[Special function/Catalogs/List|list]] under the catalogs tab?  They seem to serve the same function and should probably be merged. [[User:Chris Day|Chris Day]] 20:01, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

: This is a completely undeveloped cluster. I moved the Related Articles of the former Catalog to the list (without revising its content) because a list of special functions may be useful, but Related Articles should be more selective in order to give useful recommandations, not just a list.
