Do we want to inter-wiki-link disambiguation pages?
Yes, I think they're useful.
there may be a disambiguation page for a term which is ambiguous only in English and not in other languages ([[jack]] comes to mind).
Then there wouldn't be a disambiguation page in another language to link to, so that wouldn't be an issue. Only languages which have a disambiguation page that matches one in another language would have these inter-language links, so I don't see why [[jack]] would cause any problems.
Often a disambiguation page does map well to those in other languages, such as [[Mars]], which has links to [[Mars (god)]] and [[Mars (planet)]] in English, that maps to the [[Mars (Mythologie)]] and [[Mars (Planet)]] on de for example. There will also be links on the foreign disambiguation pages that aren't included on en, like fr has [[Mars (mois)]], but that doesn't mean the English Mars page has to link to [[March]]. I don't think that's a problem.
What benefit is there to removing them?
