How do you configure it so a published article promoted to another page instead of "front page"?
With Views, you can use "promoted to front page" as a filter value, so that things with that box checked can also be "promoted" to any page view that takes that as a filter.

If you don't want to us the native "promoted to front page" checkbox, but would rather have a separate checkbox just for that page, you can add a custom field to your content type(s) and use that as a filter value instead.
