--- Comment #16 from Ryan Kaldari <[email protected]> ---
The main reason for using a page property rather than a category is that
categories aren't universal across wikis. So for example, we could assign all
en.wiki disambiguation pages to "Category:Disambiguation pages" and query for
that category, but we would have to use a different query for each wiki. With a
page property, all disambiguation pages on all wikis can be queried for in the
exact same way (which is what mobile needs). Also note that the magic word is
localizable, but still sets the same page property.

Once the magic word is in use, creating a special page to list all
disambiguation pages would be trivial, certainly much easier than listing all
pages that link to disambiguation pages. As far as I know, no one has ever
asked for that, but if someone were to file a bug for it, I would be happy to
create such a special page.
