Please note that disambiguation pages like Phosphorous are meant to help readers find a specific existing article quickly and easily. For that reason, they have guidelines that are different from articles. From the Wikipedia:Disambiguation dos and don'ts you should:

Only list articles that readers might reasonably be looking for
Use short sentence fragment descriptions, with no punctuation at the end
Use exactly one navigable link ("blue link") in each entry that mentions the title being disambiguated
Only add a "red link" if used in existing articles, and include a "blue link" to an appropriate article
Do not pipe links (unless style requires it) – keep the full title of the article visible
Do not insert external links or references - Wikipedia is not a business directory

I have removed the entry and reference that you added because there was no article listed and because of the reference. But your entry made a good point, so I added a Wiktionary link for the definition, and added Phosphorus (disambiguation) and {{in title}} to deal with misspellings.

User Boxes not meant for Articles

@Jaberges: Hi, I noticed you are adding {{User WikiProject Limnology and Oceanography}} to various Lake articles. These templates are intended for user profiles not for article display. You can see how the project instructions state "User page". Now if you were trying to include the articles in tracking of the project for Assessment purposes then you want to apply the {{WikiProject Limnology and Oceanography|class= |importance= }} template on the Talk Page for the article. Please don't add the User templates articles and if you can go back and check the articles where you have added the User template to make sure it was removed you can view your edits from the contributions special page Jaberges. If you have any questions I'm happy to guide you. Wolfgang8741 says: If not you, then who? (talk) 15:56, 14 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
