This is only a short disambiguation page (11 links, not counting {{t|wikt}} and {{t|disambiguation}} templates), and the "See also" section was created before the 2016 film was added to the page.

Should the 2016 film be in the main section of the page? And should the other links related to the novella be there? Thanks. ] (]) 16:25, 8 September 2024 (UTC)
:The film should be included in the main listing. The others, unless there are indications of being known as simply "Lady Macbeth" don't need to be repeated here. Only the link to the ] disambiguation page is needed in see also. ] ≠ ] 17:03, 8 September 2024 (UTC)

This seems to me to be a particularly bad example of something not being an actual disambiguation page, but I am at a loss for a solution. ] ] 22:06, 14 September 2024 (UTC)

:It's functioning as an index to articles relevant to the topic of child protection that in most cases someone using the search term "child protection" might be looking for (putting aside for now any quibbles about specific inclusions/exclusions). That's definitely a valuable page to have even if it doesn't strictly fit the arbitrary rules about what can be called a "disambiguation page". Unless anyone can explain what actual (not theoretical) harm it's doing then leaving it as is seems like the best solution. ] (]) 00:31, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
:: I agree that it is functioning as an index, and should therefore be at a title like ], or the like. These are not ambiguous topics sharing a name. ] ] 02:18, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I don't really even go here & I'm fairly new to Misplaced Pages so there's a lot to learn, but I came across ] that is... kind of bizarre? It's not titled as a disambiguation thing which is one thing, but the page itself seems to be entirely pointless? It's assigning acronyms to television episodes that, as far as I can find, don't even go by those acronyms? I'm part of the Doctor Who community on here and I have actually never heard any of the three DW episodes mentioned be referred to as "VOTD" ever. According to the page statistics, there have been 874 viewers since it was created in 2010.

I just don't know what to tag or how to handle this sort of thing or where else to put it. I appreciate it, thanks! ] (]) 02:33, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
:I see two DW episodes there, not three. --] &#x1f339; (]) 08:25, 15 September 2024 (UTC)
:A relevant guideline is ]: {{tq2|... it is important that each individual entry is referred to by its respective abbreviation within its article ... if an abbreviation is verifiable, but not mentioned in the target article, consider adding it to the target article}} —] (]) 08:30, 15 September 2024 (UTC)

== What is the rule here? ==

I got alerted to , to an entry in the Japanese wiki. It doesn't seem to be particularly helpful, but I can't seem to find a specific rule for this kind of entry. Can someone let me know yay or nay, and point me to a rule, please? ] (]) 06:35, 26 September 2024 (UTC)

:A general guideline is ]: {{tq2|... {{tl|Interlanguage link}} template may be helpful to show a ] accompanied by an interlanguage link if no article exists in English Misplaced Pages.}} —] (]) 16:05, 26 September 2024 (UTC)
::Ah yes, I have seen those and used them in articles myself, thank you. But can they be used without a blue link to the English wiki in an entry on a DAB page? ] (]) 05:34, 27 September 2024 (UTC)
:::Oh, it appears that ] is ]: {{tq2|If the article to be disambiguated does not have an article on the English Misplaced Pages, but has an article on a sister project in another language, the term may be linked to the sister project using the {{tl|interlanguage link}} template ...
