Category:Disambiguation

Category:Disambiguation is only suited to pages in a group of 10 to 20 that facilitate the creation and mgmt of Dab pages. For the Dabs themselves, there is a Cat provided thru the {{Disambig}} template (and a few others like {{hndis}}).
Beyond that, if i were building a Dab page in a subpage of my user page, i would probably have it untagged, and reading

{{Disambig}}

until i moved it to the main ("article") namespace. But then, i'm compulsive, and the state i corrected it to by removing the Cat tag is probably harmless (and even undetectable among the 100k real Dabs) -- even tho not even one of those titles is likely to ever exist, and without two of them having pages to target, there's a CSD that would apply, if the move were done. Thanks,
