5. For organisation:
   - Check if `Organisation - {{org}}.md` exists
   - 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`.
