Malplaced disambiguation pages.

An example: when Foogle redirects to Foogle (disambiguation). This situation is avoidable, as the disambiguation page can exist at Foogle.

The acceptance that malplaced dab pages should be corrected is outlined at Wikipedia:Disambiguation.

If Foogle has only one edit in its history then any user can move Foogle (disambiguation) there. However in most cases, only administrators can fix malplaced dab pages, since the eventual target (eg Foogle) needs to be temporarily deleted (ie, if it has more than one edit in its history). Never carry out a cut & paste move, if there is a malplaced dab page you can't move simply list it below and an administrator will attend to it.

This page has a backlog that requires the attention of one or more administrators.
Please remove this notice when the backlog is cleared.

[edit] Database dump report

As of the 2006-11-04 database dump, these pages redirect to their own title with " (disambiguation)" appended. Do not manually add pages to this list - use the Manual list above instead. Completed entries will be removed from the list, there is no need to strike them.

[edit] Instructions

  1. Check the history of Foogle (if there is more than one edit in the history, then only an admin can perform the move. Check for cut/paste moves etc)
  2. Move Foogle (disambiguation) to Foogle
  3. Check that all talk pages exist appropriately (incorrect redirection is often a problem with dab talk pages)
  4. Check for double redirect leading to Foogle
  5. When you have corrected a malplaced dab, remove it from the list (no need to strike it, just remove)

[edit] Comments

  • Out of the 40 I have checked, 4 needed their page history (or their talk page's history) merged, an alarming 10%. Wikipedia:How to fix cut and paste moves outlines the procedure, it is complicated.
  • Apparently some editors are under the impression that disambiguation pages must exist with the "(disambiguation)" suffix, the converse should be clear at the MoS and WP:DAB.--Commander Keane 06:02, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
  • These redirects are sometimes done for the purpose of facilitating future expansion. The dab page is put at "X (disambiguation)" with a redirect from X, but the expectation is that one of the articles on the dab page will eventually be expanded and take over the redirect. This project seems like make-work... Mike Dillon 16:19, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Possible edit summary: " (disambiguation)" is superfluous, see [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Disambiguation/Malplaced disambiguation pages|Malplaced disambiguation pages)]]
