Yes. But for interwiki bots for example, {{surname}} and the set index
templates should be considered as disambiguations, because not doing
so completely messes up interwikis.
For example, in most of the languages, the localized {{surname}} is
marked as disambiguation. Which means that most of the interwiki
cycles of {{surname}} are incomplete. Example:
* The bot find disambiguation pages on fr, which links to an en: page.
* it checks the en: page.
* the en page is not a "disambiguation", it's a "set index template".
* Bot conclusion: one page is a disambiguation, the other is not.
Different content; do not link them, and bail out.
But in reality they _should_ be linked together.
I had a lengthy discussion about it here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_talk:Disambiguationspage#Re-add_.7B.7Bsurname.7D.7D
We eventually found a hackish solution, thanks to David Gothberg, it
here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_talk:Disambiguationspage#Solution.3F
(aka also listing set index templates on the
MediaWiki:Disambiguationspage page, but use a (( )) convention).
Until now I haven't found the time to implement in PYWP that solution.
