- 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: ].
