Disambigs should indeed not be wicked, unless it's intentionally referring to that page rather than one of the items that is being disambiguated. Any you find should be corrected.

FYI, I don't see any related links to Trivia.Petes Dragon.

Trivia.Petes Dragon is only indexed on the Trivia index, that seems to collect all Trivia pages, no matter what Type they are.

Removed from this list, then.

As for VideoGame.The Legend Of Zelda, I have to question whether that's a valid disambig. We already have Franchise.The Legend Of Zelda. We should force wicks to the video game page to redlink so that people will fix them.

If this is going to become a big deal, make a Projects thread for it.

Shrinking the list by making some of the wicks, go to the original work that started it all.

Note that some have images... Which I don't think Disambigs should have.

Mainly the King Arthur related ones, and Black Eyes.


Now, if I knew how to disambig the Revenge movies, I could de-index it from everything other than Ambiguity Index...

Well, we don't really have policies for how disambiguation pages should look like (such as whether they allow images). It's implicit in their purpose that any link should point to the disambiguated items. Some disambig pages also describe the disambiguated term and these are more dicey.
