Wikipedia:Links to disambiguating pages

The following pages are disambiguation pages linked here in order to avoid being shown in the list of orphaned articles. (This is explained at Wikipedia:Disambiguation.)

Pages on this list with lots of links to them can be found at the automatically generated page Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links. Most of these links should point elsewhere - to properly disambiguated pages - and so the automatically generated page is a useful aid in finding those links so that they can be changed.

All pages with "(disambiguation)" in the title should be listed on Links to (disambiguation) pages as they don't need to be checked for links.
Place names that are also disambiguation pages should be listed on Wikipedia:Multiple-place names, but those which are likely to acquire a large number of links (e.g Georgia) can be listed on this page as well, so that they show up in Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links.
Personal names that are also disambiguation pages may also be listed on Wikipedia:Non-unique personal name.

As series of pages with still needing to be sorted between this list and Multiple-place names are placed on /unsorted.

It is suggested that the following note be added to any disambiguation page:

<includeonly>{{#if:{{{nocat|}}}||{{Disambiguation page short description}}}}</includeonly>

Or you can just use the Wikipedia:MediaWiki message that does this magically:

(However, some disagree with these notes, because they don't see them as helpful.)
