Hi,
I'm having trouble with finding directions for an editing problem, and I hope someone can help me out. (Not sure what terms to search under.)
The page for the band Corduroy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corduroy_(band) has, in the info box, internal links leading from two band members (Ben Addison & Richard Searle) to similarly named but different individuals. The band members themselves don't have their own pages.
What should I do? Disambiguation page? Remove code for links? Create pages for members (probably unneccessary)?
TIA
John
Hi John,
I'd suggest linking to the non-existent pages as such: [[Ben Addison (guitarist)|Ben Addison]] - that way, in the future, if the page was created we could easily disambiguate
Kind regards,
