Just for completeness, I'm copying the comment I added in T195754:

This usage is very helpful when adding statements whose values are common words or expressions. In those cases the entity suggester list is quite long and one has to keep clicking to show more, never knowing where it ends. I'd actually prefer if, instead of dynamically loading more items (or in addition to that option), there would be a way to go directly to the Special:ItemDisambiguation from the entity suggester list.
Another way I used the Special:ItemDisambiguation was to review possible existing items before creating a new one (since often they have a label but no description, making it hard to figure out at a glance whether they might be duplicates or not).
