Bighorn fire

Hi, It has been a long time since I edited anything on Wikipedia. I don't remember quite how the syntax goes. But here's the thing I want to bring up. There is a fire called the "Bighorn Fire" in Arizona in 2020. There was another "Bighorn Fire" in Wyoming, in Wyoming, which was 500,000 acres, in 1876. This makes it the biggest fire in Wyoming besides the Yellowstone fires in 1988. On the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wildfires if you hit the link for Bighorn Fire in Wyoming, it takes you to the page for the 2020 fire in Arizona. What's the proper fix for that?

There is a fire burning in Wyoming (and a little in Colorado) now, the Mullen Fire, which is over 106,000 acres now. I imagine that people will start looking for the answer to the question, "what have been the biggest fires in Wyoming?" L. Lee Denke Lldenke (talk) 04:27, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

@Lldenke: It will need to be disambiguated. The page should be titled Bighorn fire (Wyoming).--Rockchalk717 04:42, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

Sounds good. How can I find the page to edit it? Seems the page for the fire in Arizona should likewise be disambiguated. Lldenke (talk) 02:28, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

@Lldenke: You’ll have to create it since it doesn’t exist. For now, the Wyoming one would need to be disambiguated, but after you create the other one, you can start a page move discussion on either page.--Rockchalk717 03:10, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
