| * There are many thousands of disambiguation pages. They're all in various states of conformance to the Manual of Style, and they all see different amounts of traffic. Thus, we need a way to: | |||
| ** Systematize, so that we know which disambigs need work and which are done. | |||
| ** Prioritize, so that we can work on the most oft-used pages first, and leave out-of-the-way ones until later. | |||

| * Fixing links to disambigs is mind-numbing. In my experience, after half an hour of fixing links, my head starts to swim and I have to sit and vegetate for a while. If I interrupt my progress periodically to fix pages that obviously have other problems, I can fix about forty pages in that time. To me, that's not satisfactory. It would be nice to have a bot, similar to the one used for the ]. This bot would do three things: | |||

| <u>3. addition of usage notes to disambiguation discussion pages</u> | |||
| Several of the dab templates for use in the main article space do not have clear usage guidelines/suggestions associated with them. This could be rectified. | |||
| <u>4. monitoring of dab-template repertoire</u> | |||
| The template I listed on the main page which does not appear in the Template Messages: General listing is {{tl|TLAdisambig}}, which I ran across accidentally about a month ago. This WikiProject could take stewardship of the representation of disambiguation-related templates in the Template Messages page set and actively contribute to discussions regarding deletion and creation of templates in this space. | |||
| Thoughts? | |||
| ] 04:36, July 20, 2005 (UTC) | |||
| :3. That's a worthy task, but from what I know about wiki convention, it's something that should just get straightened out on a talk page somewhere. That said, we can create a dedicated talk page for it here, but the title would probably be a little frightening (something like ]). | |||
| :4. Also a worthy task, since disambig-related templates are among the most important, but I'm not sure that it belongs here. The two tasks that this project has at present are thrown together a bit haphazardly, but they're similar at least because they're both clear-cut and require a lot of work. This one is nebulous and requires comparatively less work. IMHO, I think that could be a separate project, but I really don't know. --] (]) 01:58, 21 July 2005 (UTC) | |||
| == Page titling == | |||
| Another possible expansion of scope: correcting page titling. Some dab pages are named ] but have ] as a redirect, or vice versa. This might be too big a can of worms, though. | |||
| And then there's the fact that ], ], ], and ] are primary topic pages but ], ], and ] are dab pages. (Mercury is a special case because of the element.) I put ] on Requested Moves to move it to "Venus (planet)" (and turn Venus into a dab) and that idea got soundly trounced, so probably Saturn, Neptune, and Pluto should become planet pages. | |||
| Also, some pages titled ] have a dablink to ] even though it's not necessary. | |||
| I'm thrilled that somebody started this project, however, and am eager to dig in! —] (]) 07:33, 20 July 2005 (UTC) | |||
| :I'm mildly in favor of adding this to our list of tasks. | |||
| :Why is that form of titling a big can of worms? ] promoted it ], and I've been using it semi-regularly. | |||
| :Second, I'm confused by the Venus thing. ] has around 1000 links, and ] has around 175. Some of the reasons cited on ] are against policy. --] (]) 01:58, 21 July 2005 (UTC) | |||
