Disambiguation pages are tagged with `__DISAMBIG__` so that they're easier to work with; for example, tagging a page allows the software to easily tell whether a page is a disambiguation page without having to parse the page, and have a consistent API to tell clients this information. Almost always, this tag is put into a disambiguation template, so even the most experienced of editors aren't aware that the tag exists because they never see it and never have to add it. Nevertheless, there is a button in the page settings box in the visual editor to add the tag. There is no tooltip or other explanation given to the user as to why it's there or what it does.
