The answers!
the template is at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Disambig_editintro
we discussed it primarily at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Disambiguation/Arch…
we are still improving the summarised-MOS-wording at the template's
talkpage. (The actual MOS guideline contains any
provisos/exceptions/stipulations/qualifications/contextualisations/examples
(or it will once they finish arguing about it at
Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style_(disambiguation_pages)#More_than_one_author))
1 link per line is recommended because we're trying to find the
article that the reader meant. Disambig pages are never an intended
target (except via the hatnotes), but instead are signposts, pointing
to actual articles, and usually with a wiktionary template.
Nobody expects the Spanish (disambiguation)! So we only highlight
(link) the words that they might have meant.
