Description Dan Jacobson 2009-06-14 00:00:12 UTC
Is this what you're trying to say?
>-'disambiguations-text'    => "The following pages link to a '''disambiguation page'''.
>+'disambiguations-text'    => "The following pages (on the left) link to a '''disambiguation page''' (on the right).
(Same for other languages.)

But looking at e.g., [[Special:Disambiguations]], we
see "(disambiguation)" scattered on both left and right.

Personally in LocalSettings.php I instead just avoid the issue, via
>functionJidanniLessSpecialPages(&$list){
>	foreach(array('Disambiguations',...)as $i){
>		unset($list[$i]);}
>	return true;}
>$wgHooks['SpecialPage_initList'][]='JidanniLessSpecialPages';

The pages on the left link to pages on the right, where the pages on the right are dab pages, as you say.  There's no reason why a dab page can't link to another dab page, or why these shouldn't be included.  So it's fine for dab pages to also appear on the left.

I think a table would be a better way of organising these, by far, but that's a separate issue.

So maybe say:
>The following pages (on the left) link to a disambiguation page (on the
>right.) They should link to the appropriate topic instead. A
>disambiguation page may also appear on the left if it itself links to
>another disambiguation page. Note that a disambiguation page need not
>have "(disambiguation)" in its title to still be a disambiguation page:
>a page is treated as disambiguation page if it uses a template that is
>linked from MediaWiki:Disambiguationspage.
Comment 3 Antoine "hashar" Musso (WMF) 2011-11-08 17:51:56 UTC
rewording subject; A table presentation will probably make this easier to understand / read.
Comment 4 db [inactive,noenotif] 2013-11-16 23:01:59 UTC
special page was removed with Gerrit change #74096
Comment 5 Antoine "hashar" Musso (WMF) 2013-11-17 09:39:54 UTC
That is an extension nowadays.
