Just throwing this out there, is there any downside in not having a non-dabbed page for things that could be confused as languages? So, for example, there is no page "French", just "French (language)" and "French (people)", and no "Gallifreyan", but "Gallifreyan (language)" and "Gallifreyan (people)"? That way, when people are looking for pages to link, only dabbed options are there to choose from which forces people to choose the correct destination for their intentions?

I will add that I've not read the dabbing policy since before dab meant something other than "disambiguation" in the popular consciousness, so maybe that doesn't work with current policies or however the new (ok, not so new anymore) editor works. But man, this discussion needs closing!
