Wikipedia talk:Disambiguation pages with links#Ligurian language

Just FYI, {{tl|Regiments by number}} has been added to a slew of disambiguation pages by {{u|+JMJ+}} adding all the pages to this list in the process. Seems to me the template goes against guidance at WP:DABICON. older ≠ wiser 11:50, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

:The point of the template was to help readers orient themselves between the disambiguation pages and jump between them easier/faster. All of the regimental disambiguation pages are now more of a web. The very standard naming of all the disambiguation pages also lent itself for such a template, which would fit all of them so easily. Also, so far, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Regiments_by_number&action=history in the page history], three different editors constructively added to the template without voicing criticism against its very existence, which would indicate to me that such a template is more helpful to readers than not. +JMJ+ (talk) 21:46, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

::Disambiguation pages are specifically for aiding navigation regarding the ambiguous title in question and getting readers where they already intended to go, and the template links to a large assortment of pages that are not ambiguous with the title of the page. I could, perhaps, see a link in a "see also" section to a List of regiments by number if that existed, but such a page might also just be deleted under WP:NOT as a granfalloon; maybe a link to "intitle:1st Regiment" results would be appropriate. A reader using the 1st Regiment disambiguation page to navigate to 1st Regiment, Royal Australian Artillery does not have any more need of a link to 119th Regiment than to 1st Division (Australia), Australian Army, or any assortment of other links that are regularly excluded from inclusion on a dab page, which has always been intended to focus on getting readers from meta material to content through maximizing simplicity.

This is a hidden disambiguation, in the sense that it's a general article about the several such schools in France, but almost all the links in articles actually mean Beaux-Arts de Paris. Colonies Chris (talk) 13:12, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

Dear fellow DPL warriors - I am aware that there are now hundreds of links to the newly-created disambiguation pages Amstel Gold Race, Brabantse Pijl and Tour of Flanders, all as a result of my closing an RM. I am working through them slowly and as ever your help is appreciated. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 11:28, 6 June 2025 (UTC)

Since the DPL bot FAQ links here: there's a discussion that might interest y'all. CapnZapp (talk) 08:18, 17 June 2025 (UTC)
