Template:Romani people in Asia edit
Several articles (shown on this list) include a template titled "Romani people in Asia" but when you try to edit this it takes you to a protected Template:Asia topic. On the 2nd line of "Sovereign states" there is a link to Iran which should go to one or other (or both of the articles at Romani people in Iran. Any help sorting this one out wiuld be appreciated.— Rod talk 17:47, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
- My gut is that "Romani people in Iran" is a WP:BCA and not a proper disambiguation page. The term refers to both of the topics, not to one or the other of the topics. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 22:33, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
- Also, Persian Romani is not a people but a language spoken by several groups such as the Ghorbati who are related to but not obviously subgroups of the Romani people. That just leaves the Zargari tribe as actual people who are Romani and in Asia (though there may well be other groups not listed on the dab, with or without articles).

Who wrote the Toolforge DAB Challenge tool? edit
I was wondering who wrote/created/maintains the Toolforge DAB Challenge tool?--Commander Keane (talk) 20:08, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
- I believe DPL bot which manages the lists etc, was written by User:JaGa.— Rod talk 20:16, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
- Since the list was added, links to and is updated by his bot I'd assume it's JaGa. But he hasn't edited for the last 3 months. Nobody (talk) 20:18, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
- As noted by others, User:JaGa originally wrote it, but I'm currently maintaining it. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 20:48, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
- Ahh ok that is great R'n'B. Perhaps a link at the bottom of the page with contact details of the maintainer and source code would be good. I may have a general Toolforge request not related to DPL for you soon.--Commander Keane (talk) 20:52, 22 January 2024 (UTC)
Brainstorming disambiguation wishes edit
I am looking for brainstorming assistance revolving around improving disambiguation in Wikipedia (for contributors, readers, software developers, etc).
I have started a list at Wikipedia:WikiProject Disambiguation/Feature requests.
The purpose is getting better disambiguation tools and policies (eg through Community Wishlist Surveys), and who better to ask than the members of this project!
Any help in growing the list would be appreciated. Commander Keane (talk) 02:57, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
monthly challenge list question edit
I did some work on fixing disambiguation links 5-10 years ago, but have gotten back into it in the past couple of weeks, and am trying to update the monthly list as I go (please feel free to let me know if I'm screwing something up on that list or in general - I try to only make edits that seem "clear" to me, but I could always be missing something).
I noticed that 1945 tornado outbreak (disambiguation) was on the March list here, but doesn't show up on the external monthly challenge list. My assumption was that that meant that the links had been fixed by someone not involved in the project here. However, the page does show up on the main external list. Does that mean that there were links to it as of February 29 which then got fixed (to take the page off the challenge list) and later reintroduced (to show up on the main list currently)? If I fixed the links, would I then move them to the "done" section on the wikiproject like a regular fix?
(as a sidenote, I'm not sure what to do with this particular example - it seems like it might be appropriate for these infoboxes to go to the disambiguation page unless/until a full "Tornadoes of 1945" article is written? So the redirect could maybe be hardcoded as (disambiguation) to keep it off the list here? I was just going to leave them alone until I looked at the lists and got a bit confused/intrigued.)
