Updating the list can be done by anyone.


 * 1) Download the most recent dump of the Wikipedia database from download.wikimedia.org. For the English version of Wikipedia, select the entry labeled "enwiki."
 * 2) Uncompress the database with bzip2. Other uncompression software may fail silently.

 * 4) In the pane on the left, change the dropdown to "Database dump" and click the button labeled "Make list."
 * 5) In the Wiki Database Scanner window that appears, select "File" from the menu, and select the XML file which bzip2 extracted. This file will be named in the format of "enwiki-20061130-pages-articles.xml" in regards to the date it was created.
 * 6) On the right side, under "Title," check the box labeled "Title does contain:" and insert "(disambiguation)" (without the quotation marks) into the text field.
 * 7) Click the button labeled "Start," and wait for the program to finish.
 * 8) Click the button marked "abc..." to alphabetize the list.
