I think we're going to need a bit
more than the meagre Special:Disambiguations functionality. Looking up
another page to see what
templates are linked to from there is a bit hackish, isn't it?
Yes, but my point is it's already in the DB, and AFAICT in a pretty
efficient form.

Placing the table of contents doesn't involve
putting a flag in the

into account when saving the page and I don't think transcluded pages
are even looked at during the process unless they are substed.
Of course they are. How do you think it can figure out what
categories the page is in? Any wikitext construct can be put in a
template, because templates are substituted into the text during
parsing before almost anything else (okay, not before parser tags).
__DISAMBIG__ or whatever would certainly work, I'm just not sure
whether it's superior to the current method.
