There have certainly been cases where I've been

understanding why (usually because the topic is some synonym for some
obscure point discussed in the 14th paragraph...) It's not obvious how
to then fix the problem though - you almost need a "Topics discussed
in this article" box up the top.
The "Table of Contents" box can serve this purpose in many cases,
fortunately. Subtopics often get their own section, whose header shows
up there.
Unlike a real encyclopaedia, we don't seem willing
or able to have
incredibly short articles that say things like "Wreckage: temporary
name given to English pop group Ibex in 1970. See [[Ibex (group)]]".
In this case a disambiguation page would be able to hold this
information, but I can see the problem where a non-ambiguous name comes
in. Hopefully one can come up with enough information to warrant a
section header for the topic, at least.
