linksanan

Linksanan is a term used in online communities to describe a curated collection of hyperlinks assembled for a specific topic, audience, or purpose. Typically, a linksanan includes a short description or annotation for each link, along with tags or categories to aid navigation. The term appears to be a neologism formed from the English word link and a widely used noun-forming suffix; its exact origin and conventional spelling vary across communities, and there is no single authoritative definition.

In practice, a linksanan may take the form of a thread in a discussion forum, a section within a social bookmarking or content-aggregation site, or a standalone index maintained by volunteers. Entries are often organized by topic, recency, or relevance, and may be updated periodically to add new links or remove outdated ones.

The purpose of linksanan is to facilitate discovery and contextual understanding of a topic by aggregating relevant sources in one place. Proponents argue that it lowers search friction, preserves useful references, and supports community knowledge building.

Critics caution that linksanan can be duplicative, brittle to link rot, and reliant on a small group of curators who bias what is included.
