  Wikitravel:Disambiguation pages - Wikitravel
If you expected to find an article that is not listed in the disambiguation page, this might mean the article does not exist yet or has not been added to the disambiguation page.
This guideline asks that links that point to disambiguation pages be changed to point to the correct articles.
When a link that leads to a disambiguation page is changed to point to a new article, it means the disambiguation page can become unlinked.

  Wikipedia:Disambiguation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Disambiguation serves a single purpose: to let the reader choose among different pages that closely relate to various meanings of a particular term (some of which might logically utilize said term in a titular fashion).
Disambiguation should not be confused with the merging of duplicate articles (articles with different titles, but regarding the very same topic, for example "Gas Turbine" and "Gas turbine", or "loo" and "restroom").
Disambiguation descriptions should not be created for subjects whose only articles are on pages of sister projects, even if the disambiguation page already exists (e.g., the poll on 9/11 victims).

Disambiguation descriptions should not be created for subjects whose only articles are only on pages of sister projects, even if the disambiguation page already exists (e.g., the poll on 9/11 victims).
Pure disambiguation pages should only contain interlanguage links if a similar problem of disambiguation exists in the target language; that is, they should not point to a single meaning from the list of meanings but to another disambiguation page.

 Category:Disambiguation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Do not add articles to these sub-categories or create additional sub-categories until you read Manual of Style (disambiguation pages)—most of the sub-categories do not comply with the MOS and will be removed.
There is rarely any need for links directly to disambiguation pages.
Find and fix them at disambiguation pages with links.

Disambiguation is apt: at a time when "ecstatic jazz" has become a marketing label for empty bluster, this quartet's concentration on precise quarter-tones produces a new, if sombre, light.
The verb "disambiguate" is defined in Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary as follows: "to establish a single semantic or grammatical interpretation for." If applied to this disk, then, the title suggests that Pandelis Karayorgis is attempting to define his music in a single interpretation.
Disambiguation is far too complex and far too worthy a disk to confine to one interpretation.

 Biocrawler:Disambiguation - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Disambiguation in Biocrawler and Wikimedia is the process of resolving ambiguity—meaning the conflicts that occur when articles about two or more different topics have the same "natural" title.
It is acceptable to provide short descriptions within the disambiguation page for subjects which at present do not have their own articles (see below), but this should never be done for a subject where an actual article about it would immediately end up on Biocrawler:Votes for deletion.
We try to maintain a policy that Biocrawler is not a dictionary, so resist the urge to make such pages even more dictionary-like than they already are (for example, there's no need to put etymologies or pronunciations, unless those serve to clarify the topics).

 Disambiguation for Text Mining on the Web
Our disambiguation system is based on the classical idea that disambiguation can be achieved by relying on the presence or absence of additional terms that appear in the context of a subject.
Disambiguation is done on a particular data-set, which consists of a set of source Web-pages, a set of subjects and a set of on/off topic terms for disambiguation.
The Disambiguator tags each spot as being on topic or off topic, which is then used both to feed further processing stages, and displayed to the user together with the context and the evidence that led to the decision.

 Wikipedia:Disambiguation - Wikipedia
Disambiguation pages are not search indexes -- do not add links that merely contain part of the page title where there is no significant risk of confusion.
As mentioned earlier, if the title clearly has one central most important meaning, and one or two lesser-known meanings in narrow contexts, it is probably better to have the full article about the primary meaning under the simple title, after brief links to the special uses.
Note that a disambiguating page may look a lot like a dictionary entry.

 Word Sense Disambiguation
Analysis of the example shows that this is a case where selectional restrictions fail to disambiguate ``pen'', both potential senses indicate physical objects in which things may be placed (although this is unlikely in the case of the first sense), the preposition in may apply to both.
However, the true test of word sense disambiguation technology shall be when accurate disambiguation algorithms exist, we shall then be in a position to experiment whether or not they add to their effectiveness.
The first way is to disambiguate the words by some means, as happens in the case of parallel corpora; the other approach is to add ambiguity to the corpus and have the algorithm attempt to resolve this ambiguity to return to the original corpus.

 Wikipedia:Disambiguation - Simple English Wikipedia
"equal" disambiguation: all articles are moved to distinct names, and the "Mercury" page becomes a disambiguation page: a simple list that points to those specific articles, perhaps explaining the differences among them.
The top of the article is given links to the other meanings, or if there are many, to a page named "Mercury (disambiguation)".
Links to disambiguating pages for other such pages.

 Memory Alpha:Disambiguation - Memory Alpha
Disambiguation in Memory Alpha is the process of resolving the conflict that occurs when articles about two or more different topics have the same natural title.
A disambiguation page generally is placed at the natural title and links to all articles that naturally would have this name.
While it's generally okay for disambiguation pages to be 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 List of orphaned pages with these intentional orphans.
