Background:  I just created a page concerning the Temple of Set.
Obviously, one of the natural links on that page should be to Set, the
ancient Egyptian god. There is no such page at this time that I could
find.

There is already a page, http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/Set, which refers
to sets within Set theory. It references the Set theory page, and is
referenced by the Set theory page.

The only page I see dealing with ancient Egyptian religion is
http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/Egyptian_Mythology which is extremely
fragmentary.

1) If I were to choose to create a page for the Egyptian god Set, what
should that page be called?

2) If I choose not to create a page for Set, but do want to create a link
on the Temple of Set page to inspire someone else to create that page for
Set, how should I build that link?

Reading through the Wikipedia FAQ, it looks like one solution is to move
the current Set page to a page named "Set (Set theory)", create a page
named "Set (Egyptian god)", and use the current "Set" page simply to
point to these two. (At least shortly, when parenthesis will be allowed
in article titles.) Is this what people would suggest?

3) When I create a page, what is the best way to scan through the
Wikipedia to a) verify that links to the page are appropriate, and b)
find articles which should contain links but do not so I can add those
links?

Thanks for any guidance.
