Description tim 2010-03-31 15:29:31 UTC 
On 1.15.2, and I just noticed that pages with {{disambig}} aren't listed under Special:Disambiguations.

MediaWiki:Disambiguationspage is set correctly (Template:Disambig), so I cannot see where there is a configuration error... seems like a defect.
Comment 1 Alexandre Emsenhuber [IAlex] 2010-03-31 16:16:37 UTC 
Note: Special:Disambiguations list pages containing links to disambiguation pages, not disambiguation pages themselves.
Comment 2 tim 2010-03-31 17:25:13 UTC 
*Ahem* oops... Right, that's what I meant. 

After further research, it looks like the "error" is that Special:Disambiguations lists only the pages from the MAIN NAMESPACE.

Looking at SpecialDisambiguations.php, there's a comment that makes it seem like this was the intended behavior.

So I guess this is less of a bug and more of a "why"? Also, I could fix this on my wiki (if I wanted), but that may not help everyone else. But if there was a reason to include only the MAIN NS, then I guess this could just be closed as "by design."
Comment 3 Bryan Tong Minh 2010-03-31 17:28:22 UTC 
It could be made a config setting.
Comment 4 MZMcBride 2010-03-31 18:02:55 UTC 
Or it could just rely on $wgContentNamespaces?
Comment 5 tim 2010-03-31 18:12:50 UTC 
MZMcBride seems to have the best idea...
Comment 6 Alexandre Emsenhuber [IAlex] 2010-04-06 20:01:10 UTC 
Done in r64667.
