I see you copied a few articles about Liao family members wholesale. That doesn't make much sense, because it means there are now two distinct articles for the same topic that have to be maintained. What you want to do where several possible names exist for what is essentially the same topic is to establish Redirects:

One article is the "main" article. Check out our [[:Policy:Article Naming]] for how a given subject's main article name should be determined (the policy isn't finished yet, but it should give you an idea).<br />For other possible names or search keywords, you then create Redirect articles. These contain only the following line: <nowiki>#REDIRECT[[Article name]]</nowiki> (with "Article name" being the main article).

When you follow a redirect link, it will automatically route you through to the main article, and at the very top of the article text there will be a notion that you were redirected (which is also a backlink to the redirect page, in case you want to edit the redirect). For example, there's a main article about [[Kaetetôã]], but because of spelling issues there's a redirect in place to that article from [[Kaetetoa]].
