Stars - Canadian/Montreal band
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.

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