Cleanup
edit It would be a serious confusion to blame editors for the the accompanying wretched mess.
It would likewise have been a serious longterm mistake to further neglect its remediation (in response the seductive hope of “Keeping It Simple, Stupid”) where the goal is in fact ramified rather than simple.
The source of the mess is a failure to discriminate between the distinct purposes of disambiguation and of enumeration, and the nearly inevitable disaster of trying to accomplish them on a single wp page by combining the fundamentally incompatible processes into one unified information structure, instead of acknowledging that one function must be executed to a substantial degree of resolution, before proceeding to gaining more precise resolution in another aspect or dimension. A reliably useful step is trying out a clearly defined separation into a Dab pg and a carefully thot-thru unambiguously hierarchically structured list article.
