Structure

Main structure is provided by pages, which are hierarchical.

I need to build a block that automatically lists child pages for the page you are on.

Categories are hierarchical and theme based

Tags are topical and freeform, auto-linked by TaxoPress

TaxoPress only has posts turned on by default. You need to go into the settings and enable for pages.

Public and private pages.

Making use of the GenerateBlocks plugin, which has a great replacement for the core Query Loop block with the ability to customize the query just like you can in code with WP_Query

Cross/backlinking are handled via enabling trackbacks and pingbacks on pages.

add_post_type_support( 'page', 'trackbacks' );

Navigability/discovery

[x] Breadcrumbs via Breadcrumb NavXT

[x] Use Redirection to monitor permalink changes so I can easily reorganize things without breaking links.

[ ] Bi-directional linking

[x] Pingbacks, Trackbacks, and Webmentions

[ ] Show related content by category and show page ancestry siblings

[ ] Show revisions and/or changelog to show how notes have changed over time

[x] Last updated date and published date (planted/tended)

[ ] Live preview of links (transclusion) on hover or focus
