More detailed rationale for reverting

[edit]

I reverted the edit marked as making it conform to MOS:DAB because, whether or not that is correct, by removing most of the entries on the page it very significantly reduced the utility of the page to readers. Everything here is something that someone arriving from the magic word article (which has been a mess of unrelated things for ages, I discovered) could be looking for but without finding on that page - i.e. exactly the purpose of a disambiguation page. If there are queries about individual entries, discuss them rather than gutting the page. If compliance with the DAB page guidelines is an issue, then instead convert the page to a set index or something else that allows readers the benefits of finding the content they are looking for without upsetting the sensibilities of a few editors.
