System for handling multiple publications with the same simple name
"DAR, 1981" probably applies to several or many publications. (So do some others in this category, but it's an easy example.) The page currently contains only the "Tombstone Inscriptions Jefferson County, WV", its author being one "chapter" of the U.S.-wide DAR, the "NSDAR, Bee Line Chapter, WV". But I imagine that other chapters were producing similar publications in that year.

If we get a second "DAR, 1981" reference, we can:
 * Turn the page into a disambiguation page and put each separate record/paper on a uniquely named page (then someone goes back to the original internal link and amends it)
 * Simply show the next one on the same page and devise a system of headings/groupings so that readers can easily find the one they want

Desirable to agree on a process before it becomes necessary? As someone (only superficially anonymous) said on this site in September last - "a trainwreck waiting to happen".
