Kida,

I get what you're saying here, however, Fruipit is actually genuinely trying to be helpful here. It is quite normal on other wikis to add "(disambiguation)" at the end of page titles for disambiguation pages, and on many other wikis, this is considered good style. Wikipedia is a good example here.

Fruipit,

I realize that you were trying to help here, and that in fact, adding "(disambiguation)" at the end of a page title for a disambiguation pages is fairly standard for many wikis, e.g. The_White_Album_(disambiguation).

However, a sweeping change of this nature is something that needs to be discussed prior to it being implemented. While I realize from your perspective, there was no naming convention, in fact, there is a reason the disambiguation pages were the way they were. I am not sure I can satisfactorily convince you of that, but it is my opinion that they were better the way they were beforehand.

I'll leave this open for a while in case other people have more to say, but it is my opinion that the disambiguation pages should be changed back to the way they were before.

To all: There is no urgency to change the disambiguation pages back to their previous names. Please do not rename them for now. An admin will take care of renaming them back to the previous names if/when that happens. Thanks,
