Description

I built an artile for a country, and I used the template tiled "Country". I then created an article for a city within that country and I used the template title "Settlement". I read the descriptions of both of the template and they are clearly to correct templates. When completing the article for the city I added the prompt "Located under" becasue it clear describes it as a way to set the city as being within the country. But the propts dropdown will not pull up the country article.

Steps to Reproduce

Create an article using the Country template. Create a second article using the Settlement template. Add the prompt "located under" to the second article Try to select the country article form the prompt dropdown.

Hey, your Country article isn't listed under "Located Under" because it's not a Location template - Country is a sub-template of the Organization template, so it won't be able to be connected through that prompt. For Location templates you should select Building, Geography or Settlement in the article creation process.

Maybe you should check your definition of a country because every dictionary I cna find sates that a country is an area of land that has its own governemnt. A country is not an organization. A country is a place.

The "has its own government" is the key part of your definition, hence why it's an organization. We have prompts and relations to connect a location article and an organization "country" article to enforce that a certain country is in a specified geographic location, which makes it more versatile and reusable. For more information and better explanations on how we have divided our article templates, check this guide.
