Disambiguator edit

Thanks for [1] but I'm not sure it fits into the page, which is about MediaWiki core: the disambiguation functionality is currently being removed from MediaWiki, unless Kaldari integrates Extension:Disambiguator into core (see Suggestions_for_extensions_to_be_integrated#Extension:Disambiguator for discussion). --Nemo 08:24, 17 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

When I look up magic words on the EN Wikipedia, I often end up looking at Help:Magic words here on MediaWiki, because that page is linked there, e.g. at en:Help:Magic words. My impression, which may well be wrong, is that MediaWiki documents the MediaWiki software. If that is not so, feel free to remove the entry about __DISAMBIGUATE__ again; in that case, I wonder whether it would be better to remove the mentioned link to MediaWiki at ':en:Help:Magic words" as well. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 12:21, 17 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
