Thanks a lot,
I've updated WPCleaner [1] to use the new "disambiguation" property,
instead of looking for templates or categories.
I've been able to reduce the number of calls to the API when analzying a
page for links to disambiguation pages with this property.

The Disambiguator extension
(
http://www.mediawiki.org/**
wiki/Extension:Disambiguator<http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Dis…)
is now deployed to all WMF wikis. This will enable us to:
1. Remove disambiguation code from core, including Special:Disambiguations
(bug 35981)
2. Stop requiring wikis to maintain template lists at
MediaWiki:Disambiguationspage
3. Add features like warning users when they are linking to disambiguation
pages
(
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/**r/#/c/70564<https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/…
)
4. Remove disambiguation pages from things like Special:Random and
Special:LonelyPages
4. Enable the development of more powerful 3rd party tools for dealing
with disambiguation pages
There is, however, one action required of each wiki that wants to make use
of the Disambiguator extension: Every disambiguation page on the wiki needs
to include the __DISAMBIG__ magic word (or an equivalent alias). Typically,
this only requires adding the magic word to a single template that is
included on all the disambiguation pages. For example, on Commons, this was
accomplished with the following change:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/**w/index.php?title=Template%**
3ADisambig&diff=99758122&**oldid=99728960<https://commons.wikime…
On English Wikipedia, it was a bit more complicated:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/**index.php?title=Template%**
3ADmbox&diff=560507118&oldid=**540384230<https://en.wikipedia.or…
Once you've made this change, you should start seeing pages appear on
Special:DisambiguationPages within 3 days. If you have any questions or
problems, let me know.
