Presumably this could be done by inserting code into common.js?
Yes
Would you want to load the disambig page when the main
page loads, or
only when the user clicks "show"? In the first case, you're loading
two pages every time you load one page (much more work than
transcluding). In the second, you lose some of the time saving that
we're trying to gain with this whole scheme.
My suggestion would be to load the page every time as soon as the user
come to the article. The user would not notice this because it loads
after the page is rendered in their browser. There would be a slight
performance tax, but it is nothing the user would notice and nothing
the servers couldn't handle. Well, I shouldn't put words in the
developers mouths, but that's what I imagine. I think that would be
the best solution.
