Original description:
It would be fine, if I can define (or global defined) templates and parametersm which means links.
example:

{{Infobox foo
|name = bar
|link=Article
|description=Lorem ipsum
}}

where [[Article]] is disambiguation
When I run solve_disambiguation, bot got message No changes needed in "Page"

I want to replace Article -> Article (main)
but when it is not in brackets...
If there exists such list of templates and parameters, bot should recognize parameter link= in template {{Infobox foo}} and replace it

I don't agree with this feature. \{\{Other uses\}\} and other templates which have the same function will be affected incorrectly.

There is a way to use the more generic replace.py or fixes.py to do that. There is no way to see whether the link parameter is a real wiki link. It may also be a database link of a foreign databased website

There are huge pages on cs.wiki containing only such templates \(WLM\).
and there are often several links to disambiguations - village with same name in one list - sou replace or fixes are hard-to-use, solve\_disambiguation woud be better.

And there should be definition lists for every language

cs \{
template1=Památky v Česku
link1=Odkaz\_obec
template2=foo
link2=bar
\}
