So even a disambig page can have legitimate links to it. So, if we had the disambig page at ], when you looked at "What links here", you'd still have a mix of legitimate links, and bogus ones (where someone was lazy, and linked to ], without checking to see what they got).
178:, all over again, because you probably don't remember any more which ones were legitimate, and which ones are not. And there's no history on "What links here" you can use, to call out only the ones that have been added since the last time you checked!
102:
at ] is because this enables us to quickly check for articles which have linked to ], without the writer of that page checking to make sure they got the right meaning of "{foo}".
148:
I see so many instances of these kinds of problems with disambiguation pages that it's not true. I regularly 'clean' disambig pages I created, and I do other ones all the time.
48:
The disambiguation page (i.e. the page that lists all the potential meanings, and provides links to the articles, for those for which we have articles) should be at ].
144:
links to ] are automatically bogus, and the rest (to ]) automatically good - and it will be totally trivial to find the ones that need to be fixed.

The annoying thing is that you go fix them all - and you go back some months later and they are more, and you have to go check them

As to what to do with the existing ones, yeah, that's a big problem. I'm still pondering what to do about the existing ones.
