Pages and Tags for Institutions where many people live.
I would like to suggest a page for institutions where people lived and even died. During my research I have found incidents of many people living in the same institution but no way to tag them to that institution. An example of this is the Belchertown State School in Belchertown Massachsuetts, it has its own 56 page book for the 1950 United States Census listing every patient living in this facility. If there were a way for this facility and other types of places like nursing homes and even hospitals to be listed with its own page everyone can link to then it would greatly improve the way those people have their story told and not be lost to history.
The link to Belchertown State School Census Book below for example.

You can do this kind of thing on WikiTree, using their categorization system. There's a bit of a learning curve for using the site, but it's also a collaborative tree, so you could probably enlist other people's help for your project.

If/when the 'edit every field' indexing app is implemented on institution collections - it would be possible to reference the institution on each page/person.
