[edit] IRAS disambiguation page
Hi Rajat. I see the problem. You need the IRAS name for the disambiguation name, but it is the article on Infrared Astronomical Satellite. As I see it, you have a couple of options. First, you can ask for an administrator to move the article IRAS to its full name, Infrared Astronomical Satellite, using the fact that articles should normally be under their full names, as well as the need for the IRAS disambiguation page as a basis. Normally you could just do that move yourself, but you need an administrator to make a move of a page where the page being moved to already exists, as is the case here (the software won't allow you to make a move where the destination is already taken). Note that you should never perform a move like this by hand, i.e. cutting and pasting the text of IRAS into its full name so you free up the page. By doing so, the article under the new name would lose its edit history. It's also always a good idea to seek consensus before making controversial page moves.
In order to request the move, you would follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested moves. Basically, it involves listing the requested move at that page with your rationale, and placing a template on the talk page of the existing article for IRAS which notes that you are requesting the move at Wikipedia:Requested moves, and duplicating your rationale text. If the article is moved after consensus is reached, then IRAS will become a redirect that you can make into the disambiguation page. Your second option is to simply place a header on the existing article for IRAS in the form found at Wikipedia:Disambiguation#Disambiguation links. This is certainly the easier option. It would look something like this (and see this in edit mode for the code I used):
- This article is about the astronomical satellite. For the Government of India department which administers the finances of Indian railways, see Indian Railway Accounts Service.
This would at least inform people of this other use of the acronym IRAS. I also think you should move all of of your acronym articles to their full titles, the way I did to IRIMEE. If you don't know, when you move a page, it automatically make the prior name of the article a redirect to the new name, so you don't have to worry about making the redirects by hand (this is also the reason the software won't allow you to move a page where both names already exist). I hope all this helps. Cheers. --Fuhghettaboutit 15:26, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
