Ability to add characters to an organization from the organization page

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

Cannot add characters to an organization (ASIDE FROM founder and leader) from the organization editing page. Characters must all be added individually from their own articles. I found this tedious due to the fact that I created many characters before creating the orgnization. I saw the other declined post, but I didn't feel like the explanation was understandable. I do not get why this feature couldn't work like the relationship creator, where setting it for one character makes it appear for the other, as well.  

How does this feature request address the current situation?

If the problem is that it conflicts with the maximum number of affiliated organizations, why does that have to be limited? I think that others might also like to maske use of multi-organization membership - more than two. For example, my character is a (game participant), member of a (player party) and a member of a (guild)  

What are other uses for this feature request?

Would that not also make it possible to see every single member of the organization on the organization page? That'd be nice.

Sorry for accidentally making half the post italicized, that was an accident. Thank you for all the support so far. I just now got around to making the reddit post discussion, so you can hit the "discuss this suggestion" button and it will take you to that.
ah yes, the tried and true slippery slope argument. fine, whatever. But may I attempt to draw your attention to the other part of the post that was requesting an increased cap for maximum number of affiliated organizations :)

The Team's Response

Thanks for your suggestion! This template connection already exists in one direction. Introducing a 2 way connection would bloat the template UI and open the door to many more similar requests, which will make World Anvil harder to use. For this reason, this feature request is declined.
