I really dig this, tho there's one quibble... not every name may go to a disambiguation page. I can't think of a multi-name character where one of their names is only a two-pager offhand, but it's possible there are some, and others might pop up. Maybe make it so we have to plug in the "(diambiguation)" or... hell, "Heatblast (Toddle-Bots)" rahter than making the script auto-plug to a disambiguation page that may not exist. --M Sipher (talk) 15:51, 28 October 2016 (EDT)
