Yes, those hatnote disambigs are stupid.

Fair enough, but I was responding more to an apparent trend to use disambiguations as hatnotes - above article notes which say things like 'this article is about the bar with the fubbly fub, know as foo. For the fub with the bubbly bar, see [[Barfoo]].' etc.
A short 'for other uses, see [[Foo (disambiguation)]] should always suffice, and if there is only one thing to link to, then that should be in a section. It costs an extra click, but spares us article clutter, which I really dislike.
I concur. It's just like top posting on mailing lists. You have to read too much crap to work out the context.
