Naming collisions

It is possible that two different languages have pages with the same name. For example in French they call Miranda packs "packs" as well. To resolve collision you need to make existing page disambiged and create separate pages for each language.

Example

Page Packs is a disambiged page leading to pages Packs and Packs (fr).
