items person article-linking links
What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?
In an "Item" article, you can link a person article as a "Current Holder." Linking a character in this way causes the character to appear on the item page, but not the other way around. It would be nice to have items a person is currently holding appear on their article as well, just like linked organizations. It looks like the data for this already exists in heldItems property on the person article JSON, so this change wouldn't require any database changes - it would just be a matter of rendering that data on the articleHow does this feature request address the current situation?
Makes links between items and person articles visible on the person article, using data that already exists in the database.What are other uses for this feature request?
The Team's Response
Thanks for the suggestion! We won't add a new field in the Character template, but we will make the "Current holder" field in the Item template bidirectional, so Item pages you've created with the Current Holder field will be displayed in the Current Holder's article.

on 2025-04-28 06:07I was surprised and confused when I first discovered this very thing, because what's the point of having the owner show up on the item page if the item isn't gonna show up on the owner's page?
