Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links/Maintenance

Shortcut:

Disambiguation pages exist to clarify confusion where two or more similarly named articles exist - for example if two famous people have the same name. Usually, other articles should link not to disambiguation pages, but to articles with content.

This page lists disambiguation pages that have a large number of incoming links, which need to be monitored and fixed.

Important: This page is automatically generated. Please see below before editing the lists.

[edit] How to help

  1. Pick a disambiguation page to check from one of the lists below.
  2. Visit the target disambiguation page.
  3. Click on the What links here link in the "toolbox" on the left-hand side of the page.
  4. For each of the pages you see there, visit that page and change the link that goes to the disambiguation page to a link to one of the articles listed on the disambiguation page. It is most important to fix articles in the main namespace. Articles with "Talk:" and "User:" prefixes, as well as "Wikipedia:" administrative pages, don't necessarily need to be fixed.
  5. Please remember: it is more important to disambiguate right than to disambiguate fast. Make sure you have the best choice; if not sure, leave a note on the talk page, and let someone who is sure fix it.
  6. Some pages have topics which gather links quickly, and so need to be monitored on an ongoing basis. Also, you may have either special knowledge or a special affection for the topic of a particular disambiguation page. For these reasons or any reason, consider adopting a page.
  7. In order to help people find this project, consider using an edit summary like the following:

[edit] Lists of pages needing monitoring

The following pages are actively in need of attention due to excessive inbound links. The link counts given for each page are accurate as of the last scan, shown in the Statistics section below, and including only references from pages in the main article namespace (that is, excluding pages whose titles begin with Talk:, User:, Wikipedia:, etc.). The + or - after the link count indicates the change from the last link scan (usually one week).

Pages with fewer than 100 inbound links are in "inactive" status. If new links to these pages are created, they may reappear in the active lists after a future scan.

These lists are automatically generated, and will be updated regularly. Normally, you should not need to edit them manually, except:

  1. You can help by moving articles into the correct category. To do this, please be sure to cut and paste the entire line containing links to the article you are moving.
  2. You can help by adding notes, after the --> marker that you'll see on the edit page, that alert other editors to special issues relating to a particular disambiguation page. For example, when a potential page move or redirection is under discussion, editors may wish to postpone fixing inbound links to that page until the issue is resolved.
