January 4[edit]

Stars - Canadian/Montreal band[edit]

Not Sure I'm asking this question of the appropriate authorities, but I'm sure you'll be able to address the issue.

I was trying to remember the name of Amy Millan, a member of the Montreal band Stars.

When I enter Stars in the Wikipedia search engine, its response is to take me to the page Star, and tell me that I was redirected from my search for Stars. You do have a wikipedia entry for the Montreal band Stars, but no disambiguation page for Stars. I've never tried to create a disambiguation page in Wikipedia, and thought I'd leave that to the experts.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stars_(Canadian_band)

Sometimes a disambiguation page serves for several variations on a word. In this case Star (disambiguation), to which you are directed from Star, says at the top "Star, Stars or The Star may also refer to". And the Canadian band is in there. Rojomoke (talk) 03:52, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Considering the number of "Stars" entries on the "star" disambiguation page, I suggest it would be better if the hatnote in Star read:

I'd change it myself, but it's semi-protected. --69.159.60.210 (talk) 08:25, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I went to change it as suggested, but it's not regular wiki text, it comes from this template {{other uses}}. So not sure how to best proceed. SemanticMantis (talk) 16:07, 4 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Using {{About|the astronomical bodies|other uses of star or stars|Star (disambiguation)}}

should give you this:

This page is about the astronomical bodies. For other uses of star or stars, see Star (disambiguation).
