People nested under Atlas/People/

Context and Problem Statement

People/ was a top-level folder. Looking up people is a thinking-mode action. Top-level placement was a holdover from content-type folder organization.

Considered Options

• Move People/ to Atlas/People/.
• Keep People/ at top-level for high-volume access.
• Put People under Atlas/References/.

Decision Outcome

Chosen option: “Atlas/People/”, because People notes are knowledge artifacts (interaction logs, relationship context) and belong in thinking mode. Wikilinks like [[Wil Yegelwel]] are filename-based and survive folder moves; no link breakage from the move.

Pros and Cons of the Options

Atlas/People/

• Good, because mode-based consistency improves.
• Good, because Quick Switcher makes nesting cost-free for retrieval.
• Good, because People warrant their own subfolder (volume + rich frontmatter).

Keep top-level People/

• Bad, because Quick Switcher makes top-level placement unnecessary for access speed.

Under Atlas/References/

• Bad, because People warrant their own subfolder due to volume and rich frontmatter.
