What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

Currently the only way to auto-link/cross-link a character article to a profession article is to add them to 'Famous in the Field" on a profession article. This is an issue for characters who aren't meant to be "famous" in the field, and simply because if you have a lot of characters in different professions, this can be frustrating to have to manually link them.  

How does this feature request address the current situation?

This would simply add "Related Profession(s)" to the prompts of a "Character Article" under the "Current State" section (Or perhaps in the employment section). This would auto-link this to that profession (in the content panel). Also this would add these characters to the content panel of the related profession article under "Related Characters" instead of adding them all to "Famous in the Field" (either as a replacement of this or in addition to). Essentially adding an auto-link/cross-link feature between Character and Profession articles that isn't under "Famous in the Field."  

What are other uses for this feature request?

In general this would just allow for ease of use in order to link other characters who aren't meant to be "famous" to a profession. This would also make it so that people can see related characters more easily on profession page. Lastly this would add the "Create new article" button for this so you can create a profession from the Character Article page.   (Apologies if I am completely ignorant of systems already in place. I am aware of the employment section on a character article. This feature would cross link between the character article and the profession article as opposed to writing it in via tags on both articles.)
