Should entries that are in a disambiguation page because they have a section that deals with that topic, have an overt link to that section?

Does the discussion and conclusion at talk:Dash#Entries with no articles in the transportation section raise any issues of principle that should be documented? (In summary, I asserted that some of the entries were not valid because the relevant section in the target article was not made overt and who knows if the relevant content exists there at all. But given that there is no guideline that I can find that requires any such thing, I conceded and self-reverted.)

Wikipedia:Disambiguation seems to assume that the only entries in a disambiguation page are for articles with the same name, different disambiguator – but I have encountered many disambig articles where there is entry for a topic that is only a section of a larger article.

The guideline you are looking for is MOS:DABMENTION: "If the topic does not have an article of its own, but is discussed within another article, then a link to that article may be included if it would provide value to the reader." —ShelfSkewed Talk 21:06, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

tyvm, that's what I needed 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 08:37, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Russiagate

Hi everybody. In Talk:Russiagate there's a dab to be fix: Has Russiagate a primary topic? MrKeefeJohn (talk) 13:41, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It does have a primary topic, which is covered here: Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections#Trump's "Russiagate hoax" claims. That is where we cover it the best, so that's a more logical target for Russiagate than the current link. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 00:39, 9 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
