Greetings,
I'm fairly new to wikipedia, and this mailinglist, so I don't really
know if this is the appropriate forum for this, but here goes;
I'm attempting to flesh out the area of music genres, however I've ran
into a problem I cannot seem to find a way to get around. When
entering artists of various musical genres, alot of the entries I want
to make, already have alot of information on a totally different
subject (Fish, Genesis,Delerium,Live, Emperor ect). The obvious
solution would be to add it to the existing pages under a different
meaning of the word, however I feel that would do more harm then good
on alot of topics. (Writing about progressive rock under the entrance
for "Fish") Is there any workaroud for this? Ideally creating several
pages for the same topic, that would both show up on a search, without
the clutter of having elerything on the same page. This problem will
only get more common as the numbers of articles increase.
I would apprechiate and insight you migth have to offer.
Thank you.

Hi Eirik,
If it was me doing that work, I'd make the entries with titles as clear
and disabiguous as I could eg. Fish (Rock band) Someone who did a search
for fish would see all the entries with the word 'fish' in them and they
ought to be able to tell which are the ones they're looking for.
From my personal knowledge, a 'fish' is a creature with fins and a
tail... :)

Yes, that should work. Won't look as elegant, but it should serve. Thanks
for the tip :)
