I've written my first article. It's about a Music Director - Frank McNamara. When I tried to name the article Frank McNamara, it said I couldn't because there's another article with the same name. The other article named Frank McNamara is really just a page that redirects to the Frank Hubert McNamara article. I named my article Frank McNamara - Music Director. But the Frank I'm writing about is also a composer, record producer, conductor - I doubt if anyone is going to type Music Director in the search engine so I doubt if anyone will find my article.
What happens in a case like this? When someone types in Frank McNamara in the search engine, shouldn't both Frank McNamara - Music Director and Frank Hubert McNamara show up on the same page so people can see them both? Do I have to do anything special to have that happen? Or would it be OK if I were to ask the writer of the Frank Hubert McNamara if he still needs his re-direct page? He renamed his page so I would think he no longer needs the first page. I don't want to get anyone angry with me!
Thanks for any help you can give.
- This is what disambiguation pages are for. I can set one up if you would like, or you could do it yourself and learn how. If you want help, please ask on my talk page.—WAvegetarian•(talk) 04:04, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
- You haven't told me the name of the article you created. It isn't Frank McNamara - Music Director. It would aid in assisting you to know the exact title of the article you created.—WAvegetarian•(talk) 04:15, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
- I'll set it up, then tell you what I did. It shouldn't take me more than 10 minutes.—WAvegetarian•(talk) 04:28, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry, I got distracted. I have created Frank McNamara (disambiguation) and changed the redirect at Frank McNamara to point to it. I have also added {{Otherpeople|Frank McNamara}} to both pages. The template is at {{Otherpeople}}. This should sort out any confusion.—WAvegetarian•(talk) 04:49, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
