Topic: [bug] Wiki link DText syntax for artist tags

Posted under Site Bug Reports & Feature Requests

Bug overview description.
Writing a link to artist wiki with DText for easier linking to artist information, ends up to regular wiki page with almost no information.

Either make the DText to go to artists wiki page, reflect changes on artist wiki page to regular wiki page or link/redirect regular wiki page to artists wiki page. Or if impossible, give artist #ID syntax or something!

What part(s) of the site page(s) are affected?
Everywhere where DText is used.

What is the expected behavior?
Getting into artists wiki page.

For example writing [[blitzdrachin]] I want to get on page https://e621.net/artist/show/18865

What actual behavior is given instead?
Getting into regular wiki page of artist, which in most cases does not contain any needed information or even links to proper place, as only notes are visible.

Continuing example, writing [[blitzdrachin]] gets you to this page https://e621.net/wiki/show/blitzdrachin where all I can see is This page does not exist. Click here to create it.

Time of incident (if applicable).
Aaaaallways

Can you reproduce the bug every time?
Yes

What steps did you take to replicate this bug?
Write [[artist]] anywhere and after sending/previewing, click the link.

Errors or other messages returned (if any).
Nope.

It could be made to look at the tag typing, and if it's an artist, create a link to their artist page.

I don't want to completely skip past the wiki, as I sometimes like to see if the tag has been aliased. If we make it skip, we need to display aliases and implications on the artist page too.

Another possibility is copying the artist page info over to the corresponding wiki page (automatically if possible) so both have similar information.
