DictDef[edit]

The contributor has understood WP:COPYVIO, in using a circa 1900 bilingual dict, but blown it as to MoSDab.

First, this cannot be an equal Dab'n: the liturgical sense of phylactery is clearly the primary topic, even if "tefillin" is a perfect synonym for "phylactery" (as Tefillin seems to say; some revisions claim otherwise, but are probably vandalism). The overgrown dictdef can be merged with Tefillin, using an edit summary that says the new text has its edit history in that of the Dab -- or, if redundant, omitted w/o much comment.
Second a Dab entry has a lk to an existing article, and just enuf info to distinguish the entry the user wants from the other entries of the Dab.

It seems like this disambiguation page is misleading because it neglects a major definition of the word. From Wiktionary:

Any small object worn for its magical or supernatural power; an amulet or charm. 202.55.99.162 (talk) 03:07, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dragon Age[edit]

This is also referenced in the game dragon age, as a sample of a wizards blood which allows them to be hunted down should they become malificarum (mages outside the circle). 75.135.138.68 (talk) 15:30, 13 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
