breadcrumbs categories articles navigation
What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?
Currently, breadcrumbs show a list of content under a category via a drop-down menu, when you click on it whilst viewing an article. However, if you click on an article in the breadcrumb, it takes you straight to the article page instead of showing you the content (if any) listed under it. My suggestion is that if an article has content underneath it, then the drop-down menu should still apear. I currently have some of my categories re-direct to articles to give me more fredom in editing the layout of the page and also to make every page have something worthwile to look at, read or click on. So, for me, this would keep my breadcrumbs working as intended instead of only half functional due to the mix of 'categories' and 'articles' functioning as categories.How does this feature request address the current situation?
Improves the functionality of breadcrumbs and allows for more variety in content for worldbuilders by not restricting the great abilty to have a drop-down menu showing the content underneath a link to just categories.The Team's Response
Considering the low support and a high percentile of negative votes I will be closing this.

on 2021-11-12 11:08I agree with Satrium here. I prefer on-click navigation to article instead of expanding child-articles.

on 2021-11-03 20:39I'm upvoting this because I think this would be a great option to have. Based on some of the comments here, I also think it would make sense to have a configuration option (either per-world or per-article) to select which behavior articles will produce if you click on them in the breadcrumbs.

on 2021-11-02 21:09Adding a little plus button to the left of the article to expand the sub-articles would allow for the best of both worlds. However you could always just use categories and link articles to them. But that's tedious, so you have my vote.

on 2021-11-02 16:48I actually prefer if clicking on the breadcrumb takes you to the article / category instead of opening the list of articles beneath. That's why I'm using the redirect to article feature to get exactly that effect. If this is implemented, I would like a way to toggle between "expanding the child articles" and "navigating to the article / category".
