:I made all of the other disambig pages just a few days ago, but I think they're fine because there are more of them, i.e. 5 revolvers, 8 "knives", 12 "pistols", etc. But as there are only 3 flamethrowers, maybe a disambiguation for them page isn't worth it yet.

::'''I'm not in favor of the disambigs, nor that "Sniper rifle" should redirect to that desambig (what if someone is searching for the stock Sniper Rifle and lose their time with a disambig?

Anyway, my point is: Why make such redundant additions if they are already noted in the class nav boxes (eg. {{tl|Pyro Nav}}) and can easily be accessed from there?

:::It's all about user-friendliness. Someone who's new to the game sees a funny brown sniper rifle and want to know what it is, so he comes to the wiki - but what to type in the box? He punches in "sniper rifle" and up pops the default one, as it should. But that little note at the top is what prevents him from trawling through the page until he finds the nav box at the bottom. Some things which are obvious to us aren't so to new users. Though I agree that "Sniper rifle" should go straight to the Sniper Rifle page, no matter how it's capitalised. In fact, I'll fix it now.
