Enhancements:
- Improvements to the Cornerstone workout:
- Merges the first three steps, allowing users to search and add cornerstone articles from within the workout.
- Improves the step where users can check how well their cornerstones are doing. Cornerstone articles with few links are now listed at the bottom of the table to better indicate they need attention.
- Gives users control over which cornerstones they want to optimize, instead of always only showing linking suggestions for the three least linked cornerstones.
- Loads all data for the workout when the workout is opened instead of on the page load.
- Improvements to the Orphaned workout:
- No longer includes terms (categories / tags) as part of the orphaned workout. In the majority of cases terms are very shallow in content and should be optimized in different ways.

- Makes sure linking suggestions in both the Cornerstone and the Orphaned workout no longer include articles which already link towards the article you are trying to optimize.
