When opening worldanvil.com, it automatically sends you to the article which was edited last. This is awful behavior, especially in worlds where there are multiple editors. I don't want to see what someone else last edited - it should just lead you to the dashboard.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Edit any article. 2. Close WA. 3. Open WA. 4. Edited article will auto open.

Since writers don't have access to the world homepage, the view of the last edited article is the intended behaviour. You are being redirected to the last edited article that you have permission to access :)
