I was alerted to the fact that the Templates with disambiguation links tool was showing a bunch of templates for tennis players. We recently built a module that inputs a list of names and outputs navboxes. One of the things we do is use Module:Disambiguation to check if the page is a dab, and if so attempt to modify it to get to the right location. As such, the output of the module is a list of non-dab links, but apparently the tool is still counting these as "links to dab pages". Is this an issue with the toolforge check itself, or is there a way to "avoid" these dab links in the module somehow? Thanks! I have no idea if this is the right location to post this to, but I'm going to cross-post to a half-dozen other possible locations so hopefully this can get sorted out. No need to ping me on replies, I'll be subscribed to this thread. Primefac (talk) 09:30, 3 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

So I have a dumb question: there are ~80 templates that call this module; why are only a dozen showing up in the report? The module checks the dab status for every page that exists, so wouldn't that mean that every template shows up?

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nondualism until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

I came across the inactive historical page WP:Suggestions for disambiguation repair because it was linked to in the edit summary of an old disambiguation repair edit. I felt like contributing, but it wasn't immediately obvious how. This project is linked in the {{dabnav}} box and on the talk page, but you need to know to go looking in one of those places to find it. So I added a pointer to the project in an info notice underneath the historicity notice, much like at WP:Requests for deletion. Feel free to improve the text of the notice or to remove it if you think it's inappropriate. Joriki (talk) 10:46, 13 August 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
