Disambiguation tidy up

There has been a slow move war over the names of a few redirects over many years, since the 2012 split of the two topics here. The main contested redirects are: British Mandate of Palestine (c.12,000 views in the last month) and British Mandate for Palestine (c.3,000 views in the last month). I have gone through many of the lesser redirects and retargeted to the appropriate article, but these ones and a few others have far too many to manually fix. Ongoing discussions WP:RFD on other articles suggest that the best way to end the slow move war is to create a disambiguation page, which I have done here. Over time, editors of the various articles will fix the redirects to the most appropriate target article.
