Description

Dabfix helps you build and maintain disambiguation pages faster—typically completing 1 hour of work in under ten minutes. Using keyword matching to find articles, both existing (blue links) and non-existing (red links), and attempts to add descriptions, lifespans, and release years. It displays all the information collected in the edit window, where you can rephrase and copy and paste to the main list. Don't want to work? Hit the first button to remove automatically generated (don't worry it wont remove what you've edited) and then the second button to remove all the generated links.
