Guideline (talk) {{Disambiguation}} Disambig category CJKV task force |
Disambiguation pages with links is a project that patrols the incoming links to disambiguation pages. These non-article pages exist to clarify and ease confusion in cases where two or more similarly named articles exist—for example, if two or more famous people have the same name. Ideally, article namespace pages should not link to disambiguation pages, except when the ambiguity of a term is being discussed (as in hatnotes mentioning that a term has other meanings); instead, links should go directly to the appropriate article. Where an article intentionally links to a disambiguation page, that link should be through a "Foo (disambiguation)" redirect, to make it clear that the link is intentional. Links from non-article namespaces are allowed, but still may need to be disambiguated. Redirects to disambiguation pages (e.g. residuals redirects to residual, which is a disambiguation page) are not considered to be within the article namespace for purposes of this guideline.
This page lists the disambiguation pages that do have incoming links, most of which need to be fixed.

[edit] How to help
- First, please familiarize yourself with Wikipedia:Disambiguation, which describes guidelines about how and when to disambiguate. Please also review the Manual of Style for disambiguation pages.
- Next, choose a disambiguation page to fix from the list below. Visit the disambiguation page you have selected, and familiarize yourself with the possible targets for links.
- Click on the What links here link in the "toolbox" on the left side of the screen.
- For each page listed, visit the page. The most important pages to fix are those in the Article and Template namespaces. User pages and "Wikipedia:" administrative pages do not necessarily need to be fixed. Please avoid editing comments on "Talk:" pages; doing so is usually inadvisable per the talk page guidelines. It's okay for redirects to point to a disambiguation page, but articles linking to these redirects need to be fixed.
- Edit the link that goes to the disambiguation page to link to the most appropriate article listed on the disambiguation page. Be careful to avoid introducing an Easter egg link if the new target is not an obvious synonym for the displayed link.
- To help people find this project, consider using an edit summary like the following:
Repairing links to disambiguation pages - [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|You can help!]] - Please remember: it is more important to disambiguate correctly than to disambiguate quickly. Make sure you make the best choice; if you're not sure, leave a note on the talk page and let someone who has a better understanding of the subject fix it.
- Occasionally, links can simply be removed. Usually, a term should not be linked more than once in a single article or section. When the link refers to a meaning of the term for which there is no relevant article, but you feel that such an article would be notable and beneficial to the encyclopedia, consider creating a red link to a possible title. If the meaning is unlikely to merit enyclopedic coverage, you may wish to remove it or replace it with a link to Wiktionary, using the shortcut [[wikt:]].
- If you fix all the main namespace links to that disambiguation page, please move it to the "Done" section.
- Some pages gather links quickly and need to be monitored on an ongoing basis. Alternatively, you may have special knowledge or a special affection for the topic of a particular disambiguation page. For these reasons or any other, consider adopting a disambiguation page.
- If all or most of the links refer to one meaning of the article name, it may make more sense to redirect the disambiguation page to that article and perhaps set up a disambiguation block.
- Once you become comfortable with the disambiguation process, you may wish to read this guide to help you disambiguate more efficiently.
- {{Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links/Userbox}} can be placed on your user page to show that you fix ambiguous links. You may also use {{Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links/Usertop}}, which will display the Wikipedia:WikiProject Disambiguation logo in the title bar of your userpage. Using either of these adds you to Category:Wikipedians who help fix disambiguation pages with links.
- Encourage other editors active in disambiguating by awarding them a {{subst:Disambiguator's Barnstar}}.
[edit] Tools and reports
Several automated tools can be used to make disambiguation easier:
- AutoWikiBrowser is capable of mass disambiguation in semi-automatic mode. See the AWB user manual for details.
- Wikipedia Cleaner is a Java-based tool designed to aid in various maintenance tasks, including fixing ambiguous links.
- Dab solver is a web based tool which can disambiguate multiple links at once, searches for unlisted red links, and can pick the best redirect for a link.
- Solve disambiguation.py is a python bot script designed to help fix ambiguous links.
- Navigation popups can be used to fix ambiguous links with a single click if you have added the option "popupFixDabs=true;" to your javascript config file.

[edit] DAB Challenge leaderboard
The Monthly DAB Challenge is a friendly competition to see who can fix the most links from the monthly list (and the bonus list) and earn a place in the Disambiguator Hall of Fame. The leaderboard shows the top twenty contributors so far this month (with a minimum 10 article-to-disambig fixes), and is updated hourly. For more information, including the full leaderboard, see the project page.

[edit] Current disambiguation collaborations
Please feel free to add new suggestions for collaborations here.
- Category links: I've updated the list of categories with ambiguous links using the data that Russ puts up every once in a while. I think this is worth a cleanup run, since we haven't finished a categories run in about two years. There are about 1600 ambiguous links at the moment. If you fix the links on a category page, simply delete the entry from the list. A certain percentage of the links are intentional and can be safely ignored; please move them to the section at the bottom of the page so other editors will know to skip them. Since there are only a few links to check for any given category page (it's broad and shallow), and we haven't had many collaborations up lately, this seems to me like an ideal topic.

- Templates with disambiguation links – The total count is down from about 1280 to around 1000, with 100 with 10 or more transclusions. I like this because you can "fix large numbers of disambiguation links with a single edit". –Schmloof (talk · contribs) 04:40, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

2005: October, December |
The list below shows the disambiguation pages in the English Wikipedia's article namespace to which there are the most links. For the purposes of this report, a disambiguation page is considered to be any article using one of the many disambiguation templates. Multiple links from a single article are counted only once. Only links from the article namespace are counted.
The current list was generated from the toolserver report on February 1, 2012. Previous reports from the toolserver and database dumps are archived in the box to the right.
[edit] February 2012
[edit] Progress
From the top 500 disambiguation pages as of January 31, 2012, out of a total of 19,490 links, approximately 7,696 have currently been fixed.
39.5% completed (estimate)
- PLEASE READ BEFORE MAKING ANY EDITS: Kindly do not edit anything between the start of the line and the character string "|links]]". You may insert any additional information after this point. When an item is finished, please cut and paste it, without revision, to the end of the "Done" section. Thank you.
- The link counts reflect the number of links from main namespace articles as of the toolserver report date shown above. They are unlikely to be accurate at any later date; however, we keep the original count intact as a way of tracking our progress. Please do not change the link totals!
