It would be highly useful to have a connection between a name page (e.g. Sigmund Freud) and a character page for that person if one exists (e.g. Sigmund Freud).
In the example of Sigmund Freud, there is no way to get from Freud's character page to his real profile. There is no link in the character biography, and if someone (hypothetically) had not heard of Freud, they wouldn't necessarily know that the character biography was the bio of a real person.
Because there is no way to qv characters, the only way to get from Freud's name page to his character page is to go to Publicity Listings and scroll down to the titles that he's been portrayed in, follow a link to a title page, then find the link to the character in the cast. However, not only would many casual users not know that this section existed, but each title has to be added individually to the section, meaning it may often be incomplete. It's also doubling up with the list on his character profile.
It would be much simpler to be able to add a connection between the two Freud pages, in a similar way to Movie Connections. This way, there would be an obvious hyperlink on each page to jump between them, and the section in Publicity Listings could either be removed or automatically synced with the character page.
