Note: OtherNetworks is mostly an index to websites.

Each page has a "Target" which is the thing, person, organization, process, website, article, (or whatever) to which the OtherNetworks page points.
Access to the Target is usually found in the form of a hypertext link at the top of the page under the page name.
