Disambiguations are there to make it easier for people to find the article they're looking for and have a similar name to the article they end up at. Shortening to a regular "For other uses see Foo (disambiguation)" seems better than hiding them at the bottom, which defies the entire point of having them.
Only expand such top dab notices for stuff that's searched for really often.

There has been a dislikable tendency to use large notes -- often dealing with superficial aspects of the name -- as disambiguation headers.
As a solution, I suggest using the footnote tags {{fn|1}} (top) {{fnb|1}} (bottom), under a == Notes == section, to move such things down as footnotes rather than hatnotes. Hatnotes should be substantial and as brief as possible, not links to punk bands, or any other thing other than disambiguation, or exactly similar titles.
In some cases, using a Disambiguation section (after links) seems a better compromise than even creating a disambiguation page.
