Removal of ambox edit

I believe that this template should be reformatted in line with {{Disambig-cleanup}}, but am looking for consensus before I make such a large change.

My reasoning:

  1. It would standardise the formatting for specialist disambig cleanup templates (should any more come about in future);
  2. 'ambox' refers to articles, which disambiguation pages are stated not to be (even in the manual of style);
  3. Putting a hatbox at the bottom of a page is just silly.

I agree. So I did a major cleanup of {{hndis-cleanup}}. I moved the cleanup text and cleanup broom image into the disambig box, just like in {{disambig-cleanup}}. Gave it the new better "whatlinkshere" link that only lists articles. Made so it only categorises when in main (article) space. Made so it correctly handles the "name=" parameter, that is when "name=" is empty but defined it instead sorts on the actual page name. And removed Category:All disambiguation pages since that one is now inserted by {{dmbox}}, which all these disambig boxes uses. And extended the documentation.
And I applied some of these fixes to {{hndis}} too.
