Updating the list can be done by anyone.

  1. Download the most recent dump of the Wikipedia database from download.wikimedia.org. For the English version of Wikipedia, select the entry labeled "enwiki."
  2. Uncompress the database with bzip2. Other uncompression software may fail silently.
  3. Install and start AutoWikiBrowser.
  4. In the pane on the left, change the dropdown to "Database dump" and click the button labeled "Make list."
  5. In the Wiki Database Scanner window that appears, select "File" from the menu, and select the XML file which bzip2 extracted. This file will be named in the format of "enwiki-20061130-pages-articles.xml" in regards to the date it was created.
  6. On the right side, under "Title," check the box labeled "Title does contain:" and insert "(disambiguation)" (without the quotation marks) into the text field.
  7. Click the button labeled "Start," and wait for the program to finish.
  8. Click the button marked "abc..." to alphabetize the list.
  9. On the right side of the window labeled "Make wikified list from results," check the box which says "A B C... headings" and click the button labeled "Make."
  10. Click the button labeled "Copy to clipboard" and paste your results to the proper places.
