Functionality Missing:

  • Being able to change the type of article after it is created.
  • For example: Changing a "Generic" Article to a "Species" Article. Or any other kind of type change.

What is Unsatisfying:

  • Having to create a new article with the correct type
  • Copy all the information from the original incorrect article into the new one
  • Updating any link references in other articles with the new correct article.

Addressing Current Situation:

  • Allows for quicker management and updating of article types
  • Allows for the correcting of mistakes not noticed early on in world-building/article creation
  • Makes article management more streamlined and editable

Other Uses:

  • Updating an article type if new article types are ever added that fit the article more specifically than the previous type
  • Perhaps some kind of automatic update system in the future where articles can be updated through code based on specific parameters (could be useful for things such as procedural generation, random generators, etc.).
