See Also Automatically Added
So this template has four articles added to a "See Also" section that directs readers to other COHCCG pages. That's fine, but for many pages (heroes mostly - e.g. Positron or Flower Knight) the "See Also" really ought to include a link to their main NPC page. Putting it in manually is fine, but time consuming. Is there some sort of "if / then" command that could grab the title of the card, and if it exists as an article in the main wiki space, automatically add that article to the "See Also" section?
