LibraryThing to display the relationship between one work and another. For example, the relationship between an omnibus and its constituent novels. </p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Editing_Relationships">Editing Relationships</span></h2> <p>Work relationships are displayed on the main page of the work under the sub-section 'Series and work relationships'. New relationships can be added and existing ones edited from the link labelled '禄 Add/edit' which is located there. </p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Background">Background</span></h2> <p>Introduced on 10 February 2011 (see the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.librarything.com/blogs/librarything/2011/02/librarything-gets-work-to-work-relationships/">blog post</a>), these work-to-work relationships are designed to allow LTers to connect works to each other. </p><p>Also see the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.librarything.com/topic/109724">Talk thread</a> introducing the feature. </p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="General_Principles.2FRules">General Principles/Rules</span></h2> <p>1. <b>Create no new works.</b> Do not create new works in order to make work-to-work relationships. If a work contains something, but there is no work for it, leave it off鈥攐r add a note to the "Disambiguation notice" for future inclusion. </p><p>2. <b>Link whole work to whole work.</b> This isn't an all-purpose table-of-contents feature, but a way to show relationships that apply universally across all editions of a work. </p><p>3. <b>This doesn't change any rules about what's a work.</b> If it was a work before this feature, it's still a work. If it wasn't before, it's still not. Don't split or combine works for the purpose of creating relationships. </p><p>4. <b>This isn't for series.</b> We have a series feature! We can, however, finally link the various non-canonical "sequels" to Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre etc. </p><p>5. <b>Make the closer link.</b> If you link the Fellowship of the Rings directly to the Tolkien omnibus, you won't be able to also link it to the Lord of the Rings. </p><p>6. <b>Relationships are reciprocal.</b> If you say Ulysses was inspired by The Odyssey, the relationship will display on The Odyssey page as "Inspired Ulysses", and on the Ulysses page as "Was inspired by The Odyssey." You can only enter links in one direction, but the reciprocal side of the link is automatically created for you. In other words, you can only create a relationship by entering "<i>Ulysses <b>was inspired by</b> The Odyssey</i>". You cannot create a relationship by entering "<i>The Odyssey <b>inspired</b> Ulysses</i>". But entering the first relationship creates a two-sided link that causes both of these sides of the relationship to be created. </p><p>And finally: </p><p>7. <b>When in doubt, leave it out</b> and talk about it with others before adding the relationship. </p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Relationships_and_Examples">Relationships and Examples</span></h2> <p>In all of the examples below,
