I have been adding a "Related Pages" section to the menu. This section is drawn from the database. It includes the sections Primary, Secondary, Followers, Remote, Categories, Same Inventor, and Same Co-Inventor. Which ones appear will depend on database entries. The Primary section is for pages in the same group. The Secondary section is for pages whose primary group is this page's secondary group. The Followers section is for pages whose secondary group is this page's primary group. The Remote section is for pages in the same secondary group. Note that I am treating the first group as a primary group and the second group as a secondary group. This is not how page authors have always treated these groups in the past. For example, there are Shogi variants which list shogi as the primary group. It would be more appropriate for them to list shogi as a secondary group, reserving the primary group for pages on the very same game. The Categories section lists the categories the page is in, providing links to the appropriate index pages. The Same Inventor and Same Co-Inventor sections list the other games by each inventor. In the case of Charles Gilman, this list gets really long, but the menus are scrollable with the page, as long as the pointer stays within the submenu boundaries. If this doesn't work on the iPad, I might change it.

The Related Pages section also includes icons before the links. I have added two new icons. A pointing index finger icon for index links, and the favicon image for miscellaneous pages.
