While it's generally okay for disambiguation pages to be [[118Wiki:Orphan|orphans]] — it's more appropriate for other articles to link to the specific subjects rather than to the disambiguation page — we want to avoid cluttering the [[Special:Lonelypages|List of orphaned pages]] with these ''intentional'' orphans. Thus, all disambiguation pages should be linked from [[118Wiki:Links to disambiguation pages|Links to disambiguation pages]].

Of course, there will be accidental links, and in some cases it will even make sense to point a reader to the disambiguation page rather than to a single specific article (generally, if you want to let the reader choose which topic they are looking for).
