Post proposed tools for discussion here.
- 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 Wiki Syntax project. This bot would do three things:
- Identify every page that links to a disambig page (using Category:Disambiguation and Special:Whatlinkshere)
- Search through each of these pages for every link to a disambig
- Generate a link to an edit window in which every one of these links has been suitably marked, maybe like this: ].

Scope addition suggested
3. addition of usage notes to disambiguation discussion pages
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.
4. monitoring of dab-template repertoire
The template I listed on the main page which does not appear in the Template Messages: General listing is {{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?
