Related Topics
At Admin Panel -> Settings -> Switches you have a "related topics" option. When this is switched on, a related topics field appears on the submit topic and edit topic pages in the admin options area. Only administrators can set related topics, and must do so by writing out a comma-separated list of the the topic id numbers. You can find topic id numbers in the URL of the edit topic page for a topic, as the id= parameter.
Please note the distinction between this option and the "
related URLs" option, which is available to all submitters (not just admins) and allows specifying websites that aren't in the directory.
When you've specified related topics for a topic, the topic details page will display the list of related topics. To customize the display in WSN 9+, go to Admin -> Topics -> Topic Fields and edit the "related topics" field... find the "custom display html" area.
