Dabfix

Dabfix helps you build and maintain disambiguation pages faster—typically completing 1 hour of work in under ten minutes. Using keyword matching to find articles, both existing (blue links) and non-existing (red links), and attempts to add descriptions, lifespans, and release years. It displays all the information collected in the edit window, where you can rephrase and copy and paste to the main list. Don't want to work? Hit the first button to remove automatically generated (don't worry it wont remove what you've edited) and then the second button to remove all the generated links.

Remember this tool is only designed to make easier for you to edit—Not to do the editing for you. Familiarize yourself Dos and Don'ts below, the Manual of Style, and other wiki principles.

Quick guide to disambigs¶

Disambiguation pages are not articles – they are navigation aids!

DO:	DON'T:
Put the target link at the start of each entry.	Don't pipe links, unless formatting requires it.
Keep descriptions short.	Don't include multiple blue links in an entry.
Organize long lists in sections, with "other uses" last.	Don't include entries without a blue link.
List the primary topic first, if one exists.	Don't include red links that aren't used elsewhere.
Link to {{Wiktionary}}, if useful.	Don't include every article containing the title.
Fix incoming links to point to the intended page.	Don't include dictionary definitions.
Tag pages needing work with {{disambiguation cleanup}}	Don't include references or external links.
