Description Helder 2013-07-10 15:02:16 UTC 
The page [[Special:DisambiguationPageLinks]] (currently) has the item "ASCII → ASCII (disambiguation)" but it is the code {{about|the character encoding}} from [[ASCII]] which (intentionally) creates the link to the disambiguation [[ASCII (disambiguation)]] (and there is no other link to the same page).

For maintenance purposes, it would be great to have a way to exclude this kind of links from the special page.

Maybe we could have some tag which could be used in the [[Template:about]] as in
<validLinkToDisambiguationPage>[[the link]]</validLinkToDisambiguationPage>
?

This would also be useful to filter out Links from disambiguation pages which should be fairly simple because of the Magicword. Also certain templates like {{other uses}} which alway link to disambiguations.
Comment 3 Quim Gil 2014-04-08 06:58:29 UTC 
In practice, this bug makes the list almost useless, because it gets filled with legitimate results that could be (easily?) prevented. 

Since https://tools.wmflabs.org/connectivity/ disappeared, editors going after wrong links to disambiguation pages don't have any useful tool.

(I'm echoing the complaints of the ca.wiki community)
