=== An Example, Icon and Unicon ===
Hi, I did a lot of the work on [[Icon]] and [[Unicon]] which are closely related. Much of what I went through is discussed on the talk pages for [[Category_talk:Unicon]]. What you are proposing isn't far from what I did. Here's a summary, you can also see how it looks (there's over 450 examples on RC):
* Each distinct variant gets it's own page/category. If there are minor variants, it may make sense to put them in a section of the major variant's page.
* In tasks, I have one header with both major variant names in a single header line. Both Icon/Unicon were used because of recognition and to prevent orphaned headings (This may become more problematic as there is also a [[Jcon]] and [[ObjectIcon]]). Orphaned headings and duplicate efforts is a big problem if you have more than a few contributors. I found that having a combined header that sorts early worked best.
* Under the task heading there is a structure that allows different solutions where there are differences. However, where the differences are very minor I usually rely upon description text.
I tried a couple of kicks at it and found this approach practical (not necessarily perfect). It may or may not work with others. Hope this helps.
