how do you know whether or not you need to include a conductor in a cell diagram?

A conductor is needed the side (or both) that doesn't have a conducting metal! So if one side is all liquids and ions for example, you need a conducting metal (usually platinum) to help transfer e-

A conductor is included in the cell diagram when there is no direct electrical connection between the half-reactions, and an external wire or conductor is needed to complete the circuit

You need to include a conductor in a cell diagram when the cell involves separated half-cells that require a path for the flow of electrons between them. The conductor can be a wire or something else like a salt bridge, depending on the cell.
