Unnecessary. {{disambig}} already has special status, because it's listed on MediaWiki:Disambiguationspage. Otherwise Special:Disambiguations wouldn't work. A magic word might be more sensible from an interface perspective, which of course would allow anyone to declare a template to be a disambig template.
I think we're going to need a bit more than the meagre Special:Disambiguations functionality. Looking up another page to see what templates are linked to from there is a bit hackish, isn't it?
You know you can set it so that links to short pages display differently? It picks up many disambig pages, in my experience. Although far from all, and it picks up short articles too.
Nothing wrong with linking to short pages.
