Edit tags for new articles from disambiguation pages (Community Wishlist/W257)
Many articles are created and deleted in Wikipedia everyday. Some of new articles are worthy of praise, and others are developing. Reviewers / Patrollers request speedy delete to bad articles, and recommend good article to en:Wikipedia:Did you know. For developing articles, we correct content or revise the style.
We can find created pages in Special:NewPages, and deleted pages in Special:Log/delete. But article creations / deletions are not only page creation / deletion. Changing a redirect to non-redirect or turnings existing article into a redirect are virtually article creations / deletions. Some of these editings are good, and others are inappropriate and should been reverted. We can find such editing using Edit tags of “mw-removed-redirect” and “mw-new-redirect”.
Don’t forget about disambiguation-pages. Disambiguation-pages should not be counted as main articles. So changing an existing article to a disambiguation-pages is a notable type of editing, and vice versa. Edit tags to track such editing are needed. I think this is possible through extending mw:Extension:Disambiguator.
