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.
That which you seek you shall find explained in [[wikipedia:Disambiguation]]. http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/wikipedia:Disambiguation
Most likely in this case you'd want to create pages such as [[Fish (band)]] (I thought it was "Phish"... There's already an article under that title; is it the same group?), [[Genesis (band)]] etc, with a brief note and link from [[Fish]], [[Genesis]], etc.
Note that at the bottom of [[Genesis]], there's already a brief note about the band with a link to a non-existent page [[Genesis/group]]. That's an ugly link using the old slash-subpage style from before parentheses worked in wiki titles, feel free to change it.
