Absolutely, and I think that answers the objections of Lee and Sean. Just to clarify, [[Paris]] has a human-written disambiguation block at the top which would become unnecessary; [[Paris (disambiguation)]] is a human-written disambiguation page which would stay the same.
OK, we seem to be in agreement. But just to be clear:
Magnus' present code will miss a lot of links at the top of [[Paris]], since most of those articles are disambiguated by commas, not parentheses. Alternatively, it'll have an rather unwieldy long list of links, if we create redirects from the parentheses to the commas. And it'll still miss the rock band, unless we create another redirect (from [[Paris (band)]] to [[Poison (band)]]). Best all round, then, to simply link to [[Paris (disambiguation)]].
Magnus' code is also problematic in that on [[Paris, Texas]], its disambiguate block will include only [[Paris, Texas (movie)]], whereas the human-written block also links to [[Paris (disambiguation)]].
That's too much complaining now about a basically good idea. I did say in another post that I would look at the code ...
