My key goals for a new Disambig, in order of importance, would be:

1. An aesthetically pleasing, easy-to-navigate page. 2. A highly scalable solution, capable of handling 99.9% of situations. 3. CONSTANTLY FRESH CONTENT. (See explanation below.) 4. Appropriate and sufficient text to ensure solid Google PageRank. 5. A reasonable load time. (This gets less important as time goes on, due to ever-increasing Internet connection speeds, Wikia servers, etc.)

I think Disambig pages are DEAD (or at least dying) in their current form. We need to think much bigger now. I've been toying with the idea of 'Hubs' instead of Disambigs.

Imagine for a moment a dynamic page at marvel.wikia.com/Spider-Man which looks something like this, but has constantly fresh content about Spidey. (i.e. Most recent appearances, links to movie news, polls, statistics, videos, etc.)

If correctly built, the page would darn-near maintain itself, rather than requiring constant manual updates.

Caveat: I skipped a few posts in the middle of this thread, due to sheer length of the thread. My apologies if I repeat/contradict something already established.
