redirection
We could use a feature to automatically redirect an article to another without having to click anything.   My current use cases involve locations and organizations, but could be applied to any type of page.   As both temples include different values that can be shared via the template specific prompts which are not always common to both.  For example, a country could technically be a location and an organization.  Some templates may allow to a value to reference articles of either kind, but never both at the same time.   This would allow to have a single article to update and if someone followed the link to the secondary article, they would arrive on the primary article with the correct content.   This could be accomplished either by allowing the content of article to include a redirect code at the start of the page, or what would be more efficient, a new a redirection entry in the navigation tab.   Similar Function with WikiMedia   WorldAnvil already allows to redirect a Category to an Article.

    This feels a little unnecessary when you could either just edit the sidebar directly to add what you want, or instead ask to add a "related organization" or "related location" option to whichever template may need it.
