- If yes, link: `"[[Organisation - VendorA]]"`
- If no, just use the name (offer to create org note)
6. After creating:
- Confirm creation with file path
- Suggest linking from relevant meetings
- If from known org, load context about that org
## Note on Naming Convention
Person notes no longer require the "Person - " prefix. The note type is determined by the `type: Person` frontmatter field, not the filename. This allows for cleaner wiki-links like `[[John Smith]]` instead of `[[John Smith]]`.
Legacy files with the "Person - " prefix will still work but can be renamed using `/rename`.
