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.
rewording subject; A table presentation will probably make this easier to understand / read.
special page was removed with Gerrit change #74096
That is an extension nowadays.
