I have a likely question, in a quite practical manner.
Say I have a list of names that includes a John Smith where every name has a page with some general information and one or more pictures. And I have a list of events that happened to all the people in my list of names, when they were born, when they got their drivers license, when they got married, etc...
After I added maybe 32 pages or more about John Smith I find out that his last name is not Smith but Smit. Instead of searching for all event pages relating to John Smith and changing his name to Smit it would be easy to just update the one page about John Smith in my list of names and have all other pages with stuff that happened to John Smith get his name from there and thus get updated automatically.
