I've changed around all of the disambiguations to be more like Wikipedia. They all live at "Article (disambiguation)" and the most likely use of "Article" is the destination of the primary redirect. Most people searching for the Highpriest's Key are probably looking for the key in the sarcophagus in the Isle of Prisoners, so I've setup Highpriest's Key to redirect there. Any pages setup as the default redirect for a disambiguation note it at the top of the article. I've also changed a handful of articles with the {{otheruses}} template to put that at the top of the article as well. This shifts the content below the notice (at least on Mozilla) and mirrors Wikipedia's usage. The primary redirects are listed on the disambiguations page. Forest is kindof a tossup, the forest in the Black Mountains and Lake of Sorrow are probably of equal importance, but I just went with the Black Mountains since it was first and probably visited a bit more than the one in the Lake of Sorrow. --Superlgn 04:08, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Oh, and I know that the old Farm and Farmer are no longer part of the part one, but I don't think there's anything in either module that is even remotely as significant as they were for lesson 7. The removal was pretty recent and I'd guess that most people searching for either have probably played a version with the old farm and are probably looking for information on those particular articles. --Superlgn 04:29, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Disambiguations for articles that don't share the same name[]

Some of the articles I'm flagging with the {{otheruses}} template don't share the same name as the disambiguation, like Timmy (Boy) and The Swordfish, The Ice Princess, The Three-headed Orc (Tavern). From a navigational perspective, these articles could probably go without the disambig notice at the top and maybe just have a Boy or Tavern category or something else that could link to the respective disambiguation page. Any thoughts? --Superlgn 04:52, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
