The Banner I don't understand why you reverted my edit. Your summary states, "reverted creation link to a disambiguation page". Now, the current link is Anglo-French wars → Anglo-French War (disambiguation) → Anglo-French War. My edit eliminated the first two redirects to go directly to Anglo-French War.

The template showed up in a maintenance list as pointing to a disambiguation page. That was correct. But with a link Anglo-French War (disambiguation) we can trick the maintenance bots and tell them that they are NOT looking at a disambiguation page. Without that trick, every article mentioned in the template and the template itself will show up in maintenance list as having a link to a disambiguation page that needs to be solved.

@The Banner: I understand. I'll place a hidden note to alert future editors. Thanks. Mitchumch (talk) 01:01, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
