This solution is of course helpful.
And we are coming back to the good ol' encyclopedia approach
we we have multiple entries or entries with "subentries".
There's another issue - nearly flat ( with one subpage level ) or
hierarchical design of wikipedia. Computer storage and the web
in particular is mostly hierarchical and tree-like.
I understand constraints of the usemod engine but it would be
helpful to have some sort of 'behind the scenes' hierarchy so that
we could make links 'smarter'.

There are many questions of this type. Perhaps we
should have
this:
Heart -- about the organ in general, in all kinds of animals
Heart/Human
Heart/Reptile
Heart/Amphibian
These might also be categorized under
Reptilian_Anatomy/Heart
Amphibian_Anatomy/Heart
Human_Anatomy/Heart
My general feeling is that in many cases we should just do "all of the above".
But other people might have a more clever perspective than I can muster
this morning. :-)
