The big feature that artists need is presave links (ones that let you add a release on Spotify, Apple Music, YT before it goes live) and an automatic scan of all streaming platforms based on UPC that converts all the presaves to direct play links automatically.

The big players like Linkfire have this and it's easily 100x the complexity of the link page that this has.

Most artists have so much to do leading up to release day that a manual link page is very far down the list of items they need to pay attention to.

I believe the number one problem you will run into is what happens to every wiki in the world. Knowledge goes stale and discovery is hard. Especially when you don't know what to look for.

Making content is never the answer to passing on institutional knowledge. This problem was actually solved very effectively a long time ago by trade unions such as the masons.

Start by having an apprenticeship program. Shore up any missing skills and teach someone how to apply them at your institution. Go into the meaning of why you are teaching them.

Second, set up a simple progression where one builds a base of understanding to move to the next phase of institutional understanding. Apprentice (learning) -> Fellow (perfecting) -> Master (can teach).

Masons don't even write anything down and have managed to pass on institutional knowledge for generations. Martial arts communities are similar.
