Many users on this wiki seemingly prefer having the Template:Disambig before the continuity template (what I like calling the Continuity Badge) because it looks "better".

Granted, that the looks are an important part of how we build our wiki but functionality must not be ignored. I see two problems with the arrangement.


 * 1) Most templates having the reverse arrangement. If you see Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Disambig then you would realise the most of them have the disambig template after the continuity template. So maybe users should find those also looking terrible and work on editing those.


 * 1) More importantly, It creates a shift in focus and is especially terrible in combined pages (e.g. Gwen Tennyson and Ben Tennyson*)
 * 2) The badges are supposed to be on every single page, unlike the disambig templates. So why not create a proper uniform design by keeping them at the topmost position on every article instead of topmost in some and second topmost in others,
 * 3) Functionality wise, the topmost position of the badge helps, because if you see the Gwen Tennyson page, when you preview each sub-page in it (e.g. Reboot, Original ...) you find that all the badges are in line. If you reverse the position of the What if! Gwen 10 badge, they are not in line. Not too pleasing to they eye when you open all sub-pages in quick succession.

* In the Ben Tennyson page, the disambiguation that was removed from the individual pages and added to the combined page must be reversed and put back to the individual pages because
 * 1) It doesn't belong to all sub-pages
 * 2) How do you justify putting the link of only 1 Ben 10 show, that too the classic when the reboot is the first and default sub-page that shows up. Or even if you change the link to the reboot how do you justify not putting the classic Ben 10's link.

I would have made the change myself but am waiting out for the discussion of this. Please let me have your thoughts on reading my reasoning. If users want we can turn this into a suggestion with voting.

Thank You.
