		This led me to believe the disambiguations were not intentional, but had been created by a bot from some other Website.
		Again, the implication seemed to me to be that those pages were automatically generated from empty Actor links, and the bot which created those blank entries, being a bot, can't tell when something is wrong, which a human spots easily at a glance.
		So, to answer your question, I changed the disambiguation because I did not realize it was intentionally created by a human.
