== Disambiguation page instead of existing page. ==

Hi.
I've read through some help pages and just want to know if I'm getting things right.

There is a page [[Play_(Album)]] which refers to Moby's album. However, there is also an album by Bobby McFerrin and Chick Corea of the same name. Now, I want to rename the original page to Play_(Moby_album). Then I guess I should copy the old, Play_(Album), page's history to the new pages talk and manually change all links the original page, before I create a disambiguation page instead of the redirect. Of course, there will be a new page Play_(Bobby_McFerrin_Chick_Corea_album). 

Is there anything else that needs to be done - an easier way to do this?

:Yes. All you have to do is click "move page", as long as you're logged in; it should be either to the side of the screen, or on top. This will automatically move the history from [[Play (album)]] to [[Play (Moby album)]], leaving a redirect. You can then click on that redirect and make it into a disambig. The links to it do need to be changed by hand however. Hope that helps. Best wishes, [[User:Meelar|[[User:Meelar|Meelar]] [[User talk:Meelar|(talk)]]]] 14:04, 2004 Jul 26 (UTC)
