A footer link is the only route to a specialist guide

What to change

A global footer can make a guide technically reachable while giving readers little reason to choose it. Select an entry page where the specialist question naturally arises and add a short contextual reference. The acceptance evidence is a reader understanding why that guide is the next useful step. Avoid filling unrelated pages with repeated links merely to improve an automated connectivity count.

A worked example

Illustrative example

Illustrative test: Start at the topic directory and follow the task-based reference to the specialist guide.

How to check the result

The guide has a meaningful contextual entry route in addition to global navigation.

A mistake to avoid

Adding more unrelated footer links does not improve the reader's route.
