What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?
There is limited organization for seeing which things exist in a particular place.
Since all things exist in some particular time and place, geographic locations require special handling above all other categories because all other categories may be contained within, or limited to a geographic location.
How does this feature request address the current situation?
In order to better see and manage which Species, Religions, Cultures, Conflicts, Countries, Myths & Legends, etc. are to be found within a particular place we need some kind of Encyclopedia View of the Locations within our setting.
How it Works
An Encyclopedia View would contain a list of links to every Article for everything that would be found within that location or it’s Parent Location or whatever locations it is nested within. In order to do this, each article would have to be linked to Geographic Location(s). In many cases this would be simple in that Geographic Distribution and Geographic Location entries already exist in the Templates for some Categories. All articles linked to its Location or Parent Location would be inherited by all nested locations. And all those Articles would be displayed in an Encyclopedia for that Location, similar to what can be seen on a World Page.
Maybe there could also be a way to exclude articles from a certain region for things that may be found within all other Locations it may be nested within, but is not found there.
What are other uses for this feature request?
Whenever characters visit a location -- which is always -- this would improve organization for large Worlds, giving them granularity to better organize and track what to consider for whichever setting they are currently in.
The Team's Response
This suggestion did not achieve sufficient support during its voting period.
In addition to that, as explained above the parent/children full list is something that will not happen even if that was to be implemented. This kind of quite possibly massive recursion issues.
As many pointed out, this is perfectly possible by using tags.
I will be more than happy to listen to a reasonable suggestion for more connections to be added to make it easy for you to navigate, but the above, as it stands, is declined.
