article-organization organization article
What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?
There is no easy way to have an article have two different names. One may be an exonym, the other an demonym.
How does this feature request address the current situation?
Now that I am delving deep into my worldbuilding, I find that several languages offer several names to one place. If there was a "alternate names" section I could use, it would help organize my world better.
What are other uses for this feature request?
It can be used for organization and to specify which language calls what what. For example, a country that in common is known as Rerya may be called Arcorvatavá in Elvish. Having both or any other names as prescribed by dwarves, etc. would be extremely useful.

This is for the purpose of searching articles, not just alternate names. Those I know can be stated in articles, but I'm talking about being able to search two different names for the same thing.
Dimitri's response is awesome! Thank you so much!!
The Team's Response
If you wish to search by alternative name all you need to do is to add the alternative name as a tag to the article :) Very simple and super quick.
Yes I could make it to also look under the "Alternative Names" but this will duplicate the search for thousands of people already using the tags correctly AND it means that you will have to put possibly secret names in the Alternative Names section, which most people wouldn't want.
