Fiction is a work of fiction and nonfiction.
If it says "Nonfiction", it is nonfiction. I am scrupulous about this: no fiction in the nonfiction.
Page titles that end in "(nonfiction)" have nonfictional content in the first part of the page. Links in nonfiction content always link to "(nonfiction)" pages, although "(nonfiction)" is frequently omitted from the link text, for readability.
Sections labelled "Nonfiction cross-reference" contain only links to "(nonfiction)" pages.
Everything else is subject to the fictions of my imagination.
In many cases, links which point to "(nonfiction)" pages omit "(nonfiction)" from the link text.
