I hacked a small function that automatically shows what might be disambiguation pages below the page subtitle. This works for all pages with a " (" in the title.
This is very cunning! The list might get a bit cluttered, though, for articles whose titles have lots of different meanings. And, although you say that the feature is not meant to replace human-written disambiguation pages, it might have the effect of discouraging people from writing them in practice. On the other hand, it would help them, by telling them what to put in those disambiguation pages...
On the whole, though, I think Toby's idea of linking to just the one human-written disambiguation page is nicer, as it would clutter the page less, and would leave disambiguation in the hands of the humans, who can still do these things better. But maybe that's irrelevant, as this version has been coded and that one hasn't...
