Disambiguation pages with links is a project that patrols the incoming links to disambiguation pages. These non-article pages exist to clarify and ease confusion in cases where two or more similarly named articles exist—for example, if two or more notable people have the same name. Ideally, article namespace pages should not link to disambiguation pages, except when the ambiguity of a term is being discussed (as in hatnotes mentioning that a term has other meanings); instead, links should go directly to the appropriate article.
Where an article intentionally links to a disambiguation page, to make it explicit that the link is intentional, the link should be to a "Foo (disambiguation)" page, which may be a redirect created for this purpose. Links from non-article namespaces are allowed, but still may need to be disambiguated. Redirects to disambiguation pages (e.g. residuals redirects to residual, which is a disambiguation page) are not considered to be within the article namespace for purposes of this guideline.
This page lists the disambiguation pages that do have incoming links, most of which need to be fixed.

The list below shows the disambiguation pages in the English Wikipedia's article namespace to which there are the most links. For the purposes of this report, a disambiguation page is considered to be any article using one of the many disambiguation templates. Multiple links from a single article are counted only once. Only links from the article namespace are counted.
The current list was generated from the Toolforge report on July 1, 2024. Previous reports from the toolserver and database dumps are archived in the box to the right.
From the top 1000 disambiguation pages as of June 30, 2024, out of a total of 2,191 links, approximately 855 have currently been fixed.
