Disambiguation pages exist to clarify confusion where two or more similarly named articles exist – for example, if two famous people have the same name. Ideally, Wikipedia articles should not link to disambiguation pages (with rare exceptions where the ambiguity of a term is being discussed); instead links should go directly to the appropriate article.

This page lists disambiguation pages that do have incoming links. Most of these need to be fixed.

[edit] How to help

1. Pick a disambiguation page to fix from the list below. (An updated version is at Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links/Current list, but as the latter is generated automatically, comments should not be added to it.)
2. Visit the target disambiguation page.
3. Click on the What links here link in the "toolbox," which is on the left-hand side of the page if you are using the default monobook skin.
4. For each of the pages you see there, visit that page and change the link that goes to the disambiguation page to a link to one of the articles listed on the disambiguation page. The most important thing is to fix articles in the main namespace. "User:" and "Wikipedia:" administrative pages do not necessarily need to be fixed, and editing other people's comments on "Talk:" pages without their permission is characterised as unacceptable by the Talk page guidelines. It's okay for redirects to point to a disambiguation page, but articles pointing to these redirects need to be fixed.
5. Please remember: it is more important to disambiguate correctly than to disambiguate quickly. Make sure you make the best choice; if you're not sure, leave a note on the talk page and let someone who is more knowledgeable fix it.
6. Occasionally, links can simply be removed. A term should usually not be linked more than once in one article or section. Also, when the link refers to a general meaning of the word, for which there is no relevant article, removing may be the most sensible option. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style (links). Take care not to remove useful links, though.
7. If you fix all the main namespace links to that disambiguation page, please move it to the Done section.
8. In order to help people find this project, consider using an edit summary like the following: Repairing link to disambiguation page - [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|You can help!]]
9. Some pages have topics which gather links quickly, and so need to be monitored on an ongoing basis. Also, you may have either special knowledge or a special affection for the topic of a particular disambiguation page. For these reasons or any reason, consider adopting a page.

Sometimes, if all or most of the links refer to one meaning of the article name, it may make more sense to redirect the disambiguation page to that article, and perhaps set up a disambiguation block. See Wikipedia:Disambiguation for more details.

It may help to visit the disambiguation page but not the pages it links to, or clear your browser's cache after visiting them. That way, links to the disambiguation page will show up in a different colour (as visited links) and therefore be easier to pick out. Once you become comfortable with the disambiguation process, you may wish to read the Guide to Efficient Disambiguation.

The tool popups can be used to make disambiguation easier. When you move the mouse over a link, it gives a number of options, and if it's a link to a disambiguation page and you have "popupFixDabs=true;" in your monobook.js (or similar file for other skins), then it gives you options to disambiguate the link with a single click.

{{Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links/Userbox}} can be placed on your userpage to show that you fix ambiguous links. Using this box adds you to Category:Wikipedians who help fix disambiguation pages with links.

[edit] Status and list parameters

The list below shows disambiguation pages in the main English article namespace to which there are the most links. For the purposes of this report, a disambiguation page is considered to be any article using one of the many disambiguation templates. Multiple links from a single article are counted only once. Only links from the main article namespace are counted (that is, pages with "Talk:", "User:", "Wikipedia:" and most other namespace prefixes are ignored).

It was generated from the database dump dated 2007-02-06.

Information on generating the report can be found at /Report.

Previous lists now exist at /2005-10-20 dump, /2005-12-13 dump, /2006-03-26 dump, /2006-05-18 dump, /2006-07-17 dump, /2006-09-06 dump, /2006-11-30 dump.

[edit] Current disambiguation collaborations

[edit] Realism

Realism: 421 links as of 22:26, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
About half-way done already, and an interesting combination of simple and difficult link fixes. --Russ (talk) 14:47, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
[[Realist]], [[Realists]], and [[Realistic]] are all redirects to this page. Sumbuddy could tackle a subtask. — Randall Bart 22:26, 15 March 2007 (UTC) I've started from the bottom of the list. --Tractorkingsfan 23:46, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Posthumous

Posthumous: 506 links as of 22:26, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
I've added links to [[Posthumous]] so this should be pretty easy, now. As usual a large portion can be changed to Wiktionary or unlinked entirely. Key links to use:

• Posthumous recognition, for awards such as Medal of Honor
• Posthumous work, for books, songs, movies, etc released after an artist's death. This is a red link, but we have Cat:Posthumous works, so there should (some day) be an article by this name.

— Randall Bart 20:03, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] February 6, 2007 database dump

[edit] Progress

From the 2007-02-06 database dump, out of a total of 94,255 links, approximately 33,563 have currently been fixed.

35.6% completed (Estimate)

PLEASE READ BEFORE MAKING ANY EDITS: Kindly do not edit anything between the start of the line and the character string "|links]]". You may insert any additional information after this point. When an item is finished, please cut and paste it, without revision, to the end of the "Done" section. Thank you.

The link counts reflect the number of links from main namespace articles as of the dump date shown above. They are unlikely to be accurate at any later date; however, we keep the original count intact as a way of tracking our progress. Please do not change the link totals!
