Ritva Redirect / Article

Hi Polyamorph, I changed the "Ritva" redirect to a disambiguation page. You commented in your revision, that (presumybly my change) "breaks multiple pages linking here". Is ther a way to find out those links? so that I could change those links to the correct site and restore the disambiguation? Thanks! Hi.ro (talk) 11:49, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

   Hi @Hi.ro:, I did not make that comment, you'll have to ask Lithopsian (talk · contribs) about that. But regardless, you cannot have a disambiguation page with only one wikilink, which was the reason for my revert. Polyamorph (talk) 12:09, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

       Specifically about existing links to an article: in the sidebar (on the left in the common Vector page theme, but possibly elsewhere on other themes and possibly in a menu) there is a link called "What links here". Click the link and it will take you to a page showing all articles with wikilinks to that page, and some options for filtering the results. Note that it will not show you urls from outside Wikipedia which may also exist, these are almost impossible to detect although page usage may show if there are a significant number of external hits to an article (except redirects, which are generally only counted as hits to the target article). Consider that changing a redirect to a disambiguation page is effectively the same as taking a page on one subject and overwriting it with a different subject. You should take care to, at a minimum, chase down wikilinks to that page and fix them because you just broke them. Consider if there are likely to be external urls to the page, especially likely when it has had a particular form for many years, and consider not changing it at all if you're going to wreck them also. Consider that multiple existing wikilinks (expecting the current page contents, or the target of a redirect) may mean the page is best left as it is. On the other hand, existing wikilinks expecting a different or mixed page meanings can be a very good reason to create a dab page. Lastly, consider the policy at WP:NAMELIST: "articles on people should be listed at the disambiguation page for their first or last name only if they are reasonably well known by it", so only convert to a dab page if there are multiple entries for people known solely as Ritva and there is no WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. I am dubious that two out of the three people you listed fit this criterion, although you could also consider a WP:HATNOTE if there is a small possibility of searching for some of those people solely by their first name.
