Tardis:Links to disambiguating pages

If you are looking for a current list of disambiguating pages, go to category:disambiguation. The primary reason for this page of  is technical support for a function of the software which underpins this wiki.

What this page is
In order to grasp the function of this page, you need to understand one of the basic rules of a wiki: all pages should, in theory, link somewhere. Those pages which don't link elsewhere are considered deficient. Thus, the software provides a list of such pages, at Special:LonelyPages.

Disambiguation pages, however, are an exception to the "no lonely pages" rule. Most disambiguation pages are not linked to other pages. This condition is actually expected with disambiguation pages. This page provides disambig pages with one link, and therefore removes them from the lonely pages list.

Put simply, this page makes Special:LonelyPages a more useful "to-do" list.

What this page isn't
This page is not:
 * alphabetical — despite the presence of an historical attempt at alphabetization, it was never truly alphabetical, since titles with preceding articles, like the, were filed under "t"
 * a list — there is no need for the links on this page to be in a list form for this page to work
 * automatcially updating —  for this page to do its job, it must be manually maintained. A dynamic DPL or SMW listing of pages would be more accurate, but it wouldn't actually remove the pages from LonelyPages. That can only be done through an express, manual link.
 * current — because it's not automatically updating, this page includes many obsolete disambiguation page titles
 * 'complete — pages are linked here because they have no other links. If a disambiguation page has other links, it will never be placed here.  For instance, you won't find Susan in the list below, because it's linked elsewhere.

For these reasons, we recommend you go to category:disambiguation if you're actually looking for a current, complete, and mostly alphabetical listing of disambiguating pages.

Pages to be added
Any pages listed in this section should be added to the link dumping section below to ensure that they no longer appear on Special:LonelyPages. Simply cut and paste the links from this section to the one below, then add brackets around the names. If you do not see any names in this section, then the list has been recently cleared, and you need take no action at the present time. noresultsheader= namespace=main notlinksfrom=Tardis:Links to disambiguating pages category=disambiguation

Link dumping
There's honestly no point to maintaining this list alphabetically. It isn't meant to be a human reference page. Most editors don't know this page exists, and it never gets updated when disambig pages are deleted or renamed. The whole point is to just see that the links given by the above automated report are manually placed somewhere on this page. Therefore, we will reduce the amount of time it takes to keep this page useful to the system by abandoning the pretense of a complete and ordered list. If you want a current, alphabetical list, go to category:disambiguation.
