Very cool feature, Magnus! This will save us a lot of manual "Alternate  
meaning" links. Now all we need is some kind of template/transclusion  
system so the disambiguation text does not need to be edited on 20342  
pages if it changes ..

BTW, we can probably all just speak German if the current trend continues  
:-)
