Template talk:Monsymlink

Names of some monsters don't lead to the monster page
E.g.

points to character Death not the monster Riders.

Several pages that mean to link to the monster Death lead to the page about character death instead. The monsymlink template has no way around this. The best I can think of is:

Death

(there's no point in linking to Riders as the page ends up in the wrong place when the monster templates shrink, at least on my browsers (Firefox 2.0.0.l4, MSIE 7.0.5370.11, Safari 3.1.1(525.17))

Is this state of affairs OK, or should all monster names be used for the monster, or either the monster or a disambiguation page? Or should the monsymlink template be enhanced to allow an alternative link?

Note that in the case of Death, it used to be about character death, then both that and the monster, then it was a symlink to Riders, then it became about character death...
