MediaWiki:Disambiguationspage


This page hasn't been used by the MediaWiki software for about half a year now, since its functionality was replaced by the Disambiguator extension. If there are any 3rd party tools using this page, it should be fairly trivial for them to switch to testing for the page property now instead of testing against all of these templates. (It should also make their tools much faster and more efficient.) There may still be a need for a list of set index article templates (for interwiki bots), but this should be moved to a new title, such as MediaWiki:Set index article templates or Set index article templates.

 * Pywikibot no longer uses this page, but I don't know about any other tools. Frankly, I'd say that the cost of keeping this is virtually nil, so as long as there is even a slight chance that some tool might be relying upon it, we might as well keep it.  --R'n'B (call me Russ) 01:39, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
 * If there is a tool relying upon it (i.e. assuming that this page is of any relevance), it may be broken already. Keφr 08:51, 12 December 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep for historical purposes only. No need to delete, just tag it with and move on. Legoktm (talk) 08:33, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete, to encourage migration to mw:API:Properties. If the set index templates list is needed somewhere, move it out of MediaWiki namespace. Keφr 08:51, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep, mark as historic, and move to Historical archive. Kephir, Legoktm, R'n'B, Kaldari - does this sound reasonable? -- Jreferee (talk) 15:23, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I can agree to that. Keφr 19:45, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
 * That's fine with me, although I doubt it has much historical usefulness. Kaldari (talk) 19:59, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
 * It's OK with me, too. I've never tried to move a page out of the MediaWiki: namespace before, but I assume it will leave a redirect as in most other spaces.  --R'n'B (call me Russ) 23:50, 15 December 2013 (UTC)
