R from unnecessary disambiguation

Regarding this edit, my understanding is that {{R from unnecessary disambiguation}} is used whenever we have a redirect from "Foo (disambiguator)" to "Foo" and does not necessarily mean that the disambiguation is unnecessary in the strict literal sense of the word.

That is, whether or not "Foo (different disambiguator)" exists has no bearing on the use. A look through the accompanying category Category:Redirects from unnecessary disambiguation reveals a few examples: 1 (year), which redirects to 1, is included in the category even though 1 (number) exists.

If you disagree or think the template/category should be renamed, the next place to discuss is probably the talk page of the template (or perhaps WT:Categorizing redirects?). --SoledadKabocha (talk) 21:42, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
