Hi,
I have a question. Short version: do we want a hr (a horizontal rule; a "----") following a disambiguation sentence at the beginning of an article, such as "This article is about XYZ; for other meanings, see articletitle (disambiguation)"?
I always thought those hrs were really ugly and disrupt the overall structure of the page, because they separate the article title from the article body in a much more pronounced way than in articles that don't have this paragraph.
I also always thought that it was commonly agreed to use this format:
:''This article is about XYZ; for other meanings, see articletitle (disambiguation)''
i.e. to use indentation and no hr.
Hephaestos cast doubt on my thoughts because he reverted my change (http://en2.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Angel&action=history), referring in his edit summary to [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation]] where, however, I could not find any information about this.
What does everyone else think about this?
Thanks, Timwi

I agree. Also, many browsers seem to dislike HR elements, or at least be unsure about how to render them. CSS for the HR element is shaky too. I would say it is unecessary.
