[edit] Re: Two articles with same name

I want to create an article on the California writer Idwal Jones. Wikipedia already features an article named Idwal Jones, who was a British politician. How can I create the new entry?

Thanks

Follow this link: Idwal Jones (writer). Create the article there, and then at the top of the page, add:

{{for|the politician|Idwal Jones}}

which will produce:

For the politician, see Idwal Jones.

Then go to Idwal Jones, edit it and add this to the top of the page:

{{for|the writer|Idwal Jones (writer)}}

which will produce:

For the writer, see Idwal Jones (writer).
