Show links to object of a series instead of add these to links section

I thought I wrote this in some topic about series, before the creation of the series entity in the database https://en.numista.com/forum/topic122633.html#p1200099 but I do not find (maybe this was in my mind only 🤔).

Now we have the new series entity with objects related. For example: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/series.php?id=59

And we have the old way of knowing all the objects in the series: adding links to object pages of the series in the “See also / References” section of each object page in that series. For example: N#5055

It should now not be necessary to manually add links to series objects. The system could get these links, and display

• in the “See also” section (like now), or
• near the series name (with an option to show them; I think this would be better).

This also applies if a second series is allowed: https://en.numista.com/forum/topic153054.html

I know you can see these objects clicking the name of series, which opens the series page. But this open a new page and do not show all objects.

The links shouldn't be in the links section. I removed some of those links, had the request rejected, and had the removal approved when I appealed.

That's correct. See the guidelines at https://en.numista.com/help/links-134.html

I don't see much benefit in showing the other coins of the series directly on the coin page. In my opinion it's fine to click on the series name and get to the series page to see the other coins.

I recently translated it into Spanish, but I did not remember.

Ok, it was really an idea for remove the series from the links field, displaying the links in a different way.

I add the links only to the very similar coin, like we have a series of 5x 50p and similar 5x 50p in silver, I add only the link to the one coin from the series which is with the same design but in silver /and vice versa on silver coin page I add the link to the CuNi version. 

For all other coins from series, I remove them (if still exist) as there are easily accesible after the clicking on the series name anyway.

This is the doubt I have: What have with very similar objects in a series?

This should be commented in the FAQ.
