SIA or dab?

Is this page a set index on storms or a Pacific typhoon disambiguation page? It can't be both, because SIAs are articles and dabs are not. Incoming links appear on Disambiguation pages with links. Typhoon Haishen (disambiguation) exists and is used by some but not all incoming links. The page has an explicit __DISAMBIG__ behaviour switch, which is very unusual.

See also Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tropical cyclones/Archive 35#Category:Set indices on storms. The category needs to be corrected. -- JHunterJ (talk) 13:11, 23 October 2020 (UT)

Yes, it is a SIA. __DISAMBIG__ was added without comment by AveryTheComrade then removed by Onel5969 and readded without reason by AveryTheComrade. I've removed it here and at Typhoon Kai-tak which was similar case. older ≠ wiser 13:37, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

If it is at the current title, then it is a dab. If it is moved to List of typhoons named Haishen, then it is a SIA. ~ Destroyeraa🌀 14:56, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

That rule only seems to apply in four cases (Durian, Koppu, Tip, Utor) where one storm with the name is the primary topic. A proposal to make Haishen 2020 a primary topic has been opposed. Certes (talk) 15:05, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

No, it isn't. If it's a disambiguation page, then it's a disambiguation page. This is a set index. Contents drive titles and categories; titles do not. -- JHunterJ (talk) 16:25, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
