Gerbil disambiguation link

Hallo, I see that you changed a link in Gerbil from [[Vivacious gerbil (disambiguation)|Vivacious gerbil]] to [[Vivacious gerbil]], saying "The disambiguation page is just a redirect, totally useless to change the link."

I've reverted your change, because the link via the redirect is not "totally useless" but is required by WP:INTDABLINK. The idea is that it shows that this is a deliberate link to a disambiguation page. Links which are made directly to disambiguation pages which don't have "(disambiguation)" in their titles are often links which ought to be going somewhere specific, rather than the disambiguation page. Anyone looking for these, to fix them, doesn't need to look at links which go via a redirect like this, which shows that they are intentional. I hope that clarifies it for you. Thanks for your editing. PamD 21:53, 21 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
