Request for (disambiguation) title
Can this page be titled to clarify that it is a disambiguation page? I just saw the definition when I looked at the page and accidentally chose it to link from another article. Seems like other disambiguation pages include "(disambiguation)" in the title.

@
Popoki35:WP:NOPRIMARY: If there are multiple topics (even just two) to which a given title might refer, but per the criteria at
§ Is there a primary topic? there is no primary topic, then the base name should lead the reader to the disambiguation page for the term.
Per
MOS:COMMONWORDS, when you add links, you need to make sure that the links are directed to the correct articles.
Tip: In the "Gadgets" tab of your
preferences, you can enable "Display links to disambiguation pages in orange". I found that to be helpful.
This does not always work, though. When there is a primary topic, links to it won't be highlighted by the gadget.
I'm certainly not saying I didn't make a mistake. I was asking if this page could be titled consistently as I've seen other disambiguation pages titled. I may never link to this page again; I just thought it could be an improvement. If the answer is no, that's fine. I don't really care.

How lovely. I formally retract my request. I did try to read by the way, but there's a steep learning curve to even understand what some of these policies are talking about when you're a new editor. I apologize.
