In this case a disambiguation page would be able to hold this information, but I can see the problem where a non-ambiguous name comes in. Hopefully one can come up with enough information to warrant a section header for the topic, at least.
Hmm, good thoughts.

Why would a section header be needed? Some software barrier?
The section header would be to generate an entry on the TOC. The situation under discussion is one where we've got a redirect to an article that's about a much more general subject, but which does discuss the subject of the redirect within it. As a hypothetical example, a redirect from [[Boba Fett]] to [[Bounty hunters in Star Wars]] where [[Bounty hunters in Star Wars]] has a section with a header like "===Boba Fett===" somewhere in it.
I brought up the possibility of a situation where you might have a redirect like that but the topic being redirected is so trivial that there isn't enough material to warrant its own section, which would make it a lot harder for the reader to figure out why the redirect brought them there and how they're supposed to find what they're looking for.
