I implemented a fix for bug 6754 here:
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/40343/

It's a simple 2 line change to core that adds a 'disambiguation' page property to any page that includes '__DISAMBIG__'. I was originally considering implementing this as an extension, but it seems like a feature that would be generally useful to lots of wikis and is a much lighter-weight solution than a full-blown extension.

The reason I used a doubleunderscore magic word is because they don't have to output anything and they automatically set a page property. In other words, they were invented for exactly this sort of purpose.

You could always have a magic word that disables the features, and let
the users put it in the relevant templates. Then the users could
disable it on all the pages they feel it would be inappropriate for.

Perhaps this helps something if you are familiar with javascript:

We in huwiki use an adopted version of this script to display links to
disambpages with a different colour.
