Description (long)	Show details An extension for CKAN that completely disables the Related Items feature. This extension provides three key functionalities: returns HTTP 404 errors for all related items URLs, returns authorization denied responses for related items API methods, and removes the Related Items tab from dataset pages. Useful for CKAN instances that don’t want to use the Related Items functionality (which was later replaced by the Showcase extension in newer CKAN versions).
