 * Create a page and put a link to those pages. Also (but I don't know if it would work) you could link to the same page on the disambiguation template (like  |&nbsp , so it has a link to itself....


 * Do your disambiguation pages have the correct disambiguation template (should be ) on them? If not, that could be your problem. - Adan Aileron (talk) 11:14, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

yes

 * The disambiguation template is defined in your MediaWiki:Disambiguationspage, so it could be other template. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 18:02, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Simple solution
The easiest way is to make a page, for example "Disambiguations list", and put the following code on it: (This assumes that your disambiguation pages are all in Category:Disambiguation; the disambiguation template usually does that.) This code will create a link to all of the disambiguation pages, so none of them will ever be orphaned, and it extends automatically to all new pages if they have the proper category. --◄mendel► 03:54, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
