The naming convention was created to avoid
overly convoluted names. The places articles are located should be easy to
link to.
The Naming Conventions are created to avoid endless move-wars between people
who favour one formulation over another. Copy & paste takes care of problems
to do with linking.
It just so happens that there is a strange wrinkle in the way that links are
processed which can be useful in this context; see here (it will open a
preview first that you might check I'm not linking you to the Last Resort

Check out the "link with leading pipe".
So to link from [[a (b)]] to [[c (b)]] placing the link [[|c]] in the former
during an edit will, at the moment, work just fine: it will automagically
expand to [[c (b)|c]] in just the same way as [[c (b)|]] would have expanded
to the same thing. I leave enumerating the advantages to the interested
student.
