Is this page not in need of massive editing to fit the new policy of dabbing all stories? --Scrooge MacDuck 18:44, November 7, 2018 (UTC)

This has not been new policy since 2012 (Forum:Story names should be automatically disambiguated). Also, it's specifically covered at Tardis:Disambiguation#A simple solution.

I know, I mean new in relation to the writing of this article. And yes, A simple solution refers to it, but the earlier paragraphs don't seem to have been updated in this regard — the A little problem section, for example, still says we "got away with not using a dab term because (…)" for The Keeper of Traken, and links [[The Keeper of Traken]]. --Scrooge MacDuck 18:56, November 7, 2018 (UTC)
I think it does well to provide context. Those sections are in the past tense.
