top or bottom

[edit]

True or false: the error of putting dis-ambiguation messages at the top of a page instead of the bottom is primarily done by Wikipedians who fail to take notes on where to put messages. 66.32.252.70 00:22, 30 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Yes, in a page like this, the message should be at the bottom. And it should be done using the {{disambig}} template. I have changed it. —Stormie 00:44, Jun 30, 2004 (UTC)
But my question is, why do people make the mistake of putting the message at the top?? 66.32.252.70 00:45, 30 Jun 2004 (UTC)
My guess - because the last disambiguation page that person saw before creating this one had the message at the top. So they copied what they'd just seen, thinking it was correct. I'm sure there are some pages with the message at the top which date back to the days before there was any clear consensus on how to do it. —Stormie 01:44, Jun 30, 2004 (UTC)
