== Template:Regiments by number ==

Just FYI, {{tl|Regiments by number}} has been added to a slew of disambiguation pages by {{u|+JMJ+}} adding all the pages to this list in the process. Seems to me the template goes against guidance at [[WP:DABICON]]. [[User:Bkonrad|older]] ≠ [[User talk:Bkonrad|wiser]] 11:50, 22 April 2025 (UTC)

:[[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Disambiguation pages#When to ignore the guidelines]]: {{tq|ignore these guidelines '''if doing so will be more helpful to readers''' than following them.}} 
:The point of the template was to help readers orient themselves between the disambiguation pages and jump between them easier/faster. All of the regimental disambiguation pages are now more of a web. The very standard naming of all the disambiguation pages also lent itself for such a template, which would fit all of them so easily. Also, so far, [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Regiments_by_number&action=history in the page history], three different editors constructively added to the template without voicing criticism against its very existence, which would indicate to me that such a template is more helpful to readers than not.

::Disambiguation pages are specifically for aiding navigation regarding the ambiguous title in question and getting readers where they already intended to go, and the template links to a large assortment of pages that are not ambiguous with the title of the page. I could, perhaps, see a link in a "see also" section to a [[List of regiments by number]] if that existed, but such a page might also just be deleted under [[WP:NOT]] as a [[granfalloon]]; maybe a link to "intitle:1st Regiment" results would be appropriate. A reader using the [[1st Regiment]] disambiguation page to navigate to [[1st Regiment, Royal Australian Artillery]] does not have any more need of a link to [[119th Regiment]] than to [[1st Division (Australia)]], [[Australian Army]], or any assortment of other links that are regularly excluded from inclusion on a dab page, which has always been intended to focus on getting readers from meta material to content through maximizing simplicity.

== [[École des Beaux-Arts]] ==

This is a hidden disambiguation, in the sense that it's a general article about the several such schools in France, but almost all the links in articles actually mean [[Beaux-Arts de Paris]]. [[User:Colonies Chris|Colonies Chris]] ([[User talk:Colonies Chris|talk]]) 13:12, 21 May 2025 (UTC)

== Cycling races ==

Dear fellow DPL warriors - I am aware that there are now hundreds of links to the newly-created disambiguation pages [[Amstel Gold Race]], [[Brabantse Pijl]] and [[Tour of Flanders]], all as a result of my closing an RM. I am working through them slowly and as ever your help is appreciated. [[User:Shhhnotsoloud|Shhhnotsoloud]] ([[User talk:Shhhnotsoloud|talk]]) 11:28, 6 June 2025 (UTC)

Since the DPL bot FAQ links here: [[Template_talk:Dablinks/FAQ#Boundary conditions|there's a discussion]] that might interest y'all. [[User:CapnZapp|CapnZapp]] ([[User talk:CapnZapp|talk]]) 08:18, 17 June 2025 (UTC)
