kindle worlds books linked to series pages?

[Z-squared]

Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere, but I came up with nada when I searched. Do we have a policy for adding or omitting kindle worlds books from series pages? For example:

https://www.goodreads.com/series/8373...

Only the first five are from the author who created the series, and the rest were published through Kindle Worlds, which I gather is essentially a place for people to publish licensed fan fic. Given that it's licensed, is it OK to leave them connected to the series pages? Should I leave this alone?

This has come up before, but I can't find it.

I think (and someone may correct me if I'm wrong) our broad consensus was, if there's an overarching "Universe" series on GR, it's ok to add them there, but not to the original series. Hugh Howey's Wool, for instance, has a "Silo" series that has a few things in by other authors as well as both sets of Howey's own books set in that universe (Wool and Shift), but they haven't been added to the actual Wool series.

Silo Universe:

Wool:

Looking at that example you gave, I'd be tempted to do the same thing. Turn that series into a "FWaaF Universe", create a new one that only contains the actual books, and make it first on those.

But that's just me and my fuzzy memory and my tendency to be a little aggressive about series. Let's see what everyone else says?

Sounds about right. (I couldn't find much besides this.)

thank you!

For posterity's sake, here is the FWaaF Universe series page I created, complete with a description and link back to the original series:

Looks good to me.
