# Views contextual filters

Sometimes on a website it’s useful to display information about the author of the page. For this scenario, we’ll create an “about this author” block in the sidebar. It helps us to understand and practice how related content can be displayed using contextual filters.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://salsa-digital.gitbook.io/govcms-site-builder/unit-8-site-building-exercises/views-contextual-filters.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
