What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?
Despite the long and excellent list of document types that are available when creating a document article, I couldn't really find anything that covers the category of a simple history book. The closest might be "Manuscript, Historical" or "Record, Historical" but I think of these as referring more to original historical source material like the Magna Carta (for example) rather than a book about a historical period/event. We have "Study, Scientific" and "Study, Artistic" so "Study, Historical" would seem to make a nice addition to cover a history book.How does this feature request address the current situation?
It allows for a more precise description of a type of document that I think it likely to be very useful in world building (I certainly want to write about more than one of these in my world). I have used "Study, Scientific" as the closest substitute and qualified it in the description but would prefer to have "Study, Historical".What are other uses for this feature request?
I have a bibliography of imaginary "in universe" books (and their authors) which are key points of reference. This small addition covers an important type of book for world building.

on 2022-01-14 22:26In-universe documents are one of my favorite ways to tell a story, so having a tag for in-universe history treatises or texts would be really helpful.

on 2022-01-05 16:14I always thought that "Study," makes reference to an actual study (like the typical studies report that you read in a video game), not to a book that you could study, as that can happen with any book... I'm still thinking that Manuscript cover that part, even if it is an edited book.
