Hate it.  It's not obvious to the naive reader.  The link is out of
the body of the article, and people are already well-trained by
numerous websites to ignore content outside the central box.  The word
'Disambiguation' itself is Wikipedia jargon; it isn't obvious that it
means 'If you wanted another meaning of this term, go here'.
