## Canonical and citation guidance

- Follow each page's rel=canonical value when citing or indexing it.
- Where an archive record reproduces an article maintained on p4theater.top, the main-site article is the canonical reading edition; the archive page remains useful for provenance, classification, images, and record context.
- Treat https://p4theater.top/#organization as the shared P4 Theater organization entity and https://a.p4theater.top/#website as its public archive website.
- Prefer stable record, project, event, or collection URLs over search-result URLs.
- Preserve titles, dates, creators, identifiers, and source links when quoting archive material.
