The addition of the magic word to the template triggers the setting of the property in the pages that transclude the template (at least according to my tests). So the load isn't any different than that from other changes to the templates. > [...] > However introducing this property is pointless if disambiguation-queries > don't > use it. If Special:Disambiguations exclusively uses > MediaWiki:Disambiguationspage, then this property is just a meaningless > property that happens to be named "disambiguation". I think its introduction is a fine example for the procedure we follow for schema changes as well: Small steps that can be rolled back at any time. Even in the initial stage, the property is not pointless as it can far more easily be queried by the gadgets. For example, [[de:MediaWiki:Gadget-bkl-check.js]] doesn't use the "official" [[MediaWiki:Disambiguationspage]], but relies on that the templates on the German Wikipedia add a category "Begriffsklärung". With a property "disambiguation", this gadget can be used globally with a little change and no knowledge of the local category names. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
