I'm with everyone else fore the most part, the bulk of disambiguation pages are pointless and likely barely ever seen. Having said that, I do think we need to address the few that are somewhat useful, if nothing else for the purpose of seeing all available variants of the same item. The one that comes to mind offhand is Phaseblade, and though these comments are directed at all similar pages, I'll simply address that one. I personally won't say I've ever used it, but I can see where having a page of that type (similar to the Dyes and Paint pages, the latter of which could use an overhaul similar to the former) could be useful. The obvious solutions I see are as follows:

1. Disagree, delete it. If that's the consensus, that's fine.

2. Flesh it out until it's more of a categorical page, like Dyes. With this particular example, including Phasesabers would probably be a good choice too.

3. Merge it into something else in a way that preserves the usefulness it exhibits. This is probably the best solution, though it may be hard to determine where and how it fits best without becoming clutter. The Swords page seems a clear candidate for consideration.

Either way I wouldn't be heartbroken to see things like that simply removed, but especially when you have a large array of items with extremely similar functions and slight differences, I understand that it can be very useful to be able to see at a glance all options to pick what you want.
