How to make links to disambiguation pages appear orange to you

Sometimes, a desired topic link goes to a disambiguation page instead. This tip lets you spot them without having to click on them first, so you can more easily help fix them.

In preferences under the gadgets tab, check the box next to "Display links to disambiguation pages in orange", and then click the save button at the bottom of the page.

  Hello, I'm Peaceray. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you unlinked one or more redlinks from Brooks Sports. Often redlinks can be helpful, so we don't remove them just because they are red. They help improve Wikipedia by attracting editors to create needed articles.

In addition, clicking on the "What links here" special link (in the Wikipedia Toolbox at left) on a missing article shows how many—and which—articles depend on that article being created. This can help prioritize article creation. Redlinks are useful! Please only remove a redlink if you are pretty sure that it is to a non-notable topic and not likely ever to be created.

My apologies. I simply noticed that the ‘Hannah Fields’ link goes to the wrong page, seemingly. Either the proper page needs to be linked to that name, or a page for Hannah Fields needs to be created. Thanks for your advice— I’m pretty new at this. Aksarvis (talk) 17:31, 15 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
