I agree, but the catch is that the users of the wiki have to maintain the 
list on MediaWiki:Disambiguationspage, or else the bot won't identify 
dab-pages correctly.  That's why it has to be enabled on a wiki-by-wiki 
basis; someone should check that the list is up to date on a particular wiki 
before enabling the use of this option.
