Can anyone tell me is it right or wrong? If wrong why such common practice it has become?

Why would a separate "disclaimer" page be needed, when the Disclaimer itself is self-contained?
The Disclaimer, i.e. wording similar to "Other Trademarks, Service Marks, Trade Names, and product names are the property of their respective holders" avoids the need to explicitly name each and every mark that may be used on the site that is not held by the owner of the site.
Thus, having said "I claim these named marks as belonging to me," the disclaimer then simply says that "any other marks appearing here do
not belong to me." With that, there is no need for more. And, one need not be concerned as to which marks belonging to others might appear on the site in the future, as they too are included in the generic disclaimer.
