Definition
Disambiguation in Wikipedia and Wikimedia is the process of resolving the conflict that occurs when articles about two or more different topics have the same natural title.
Wikipedia thrives on the fact that making links is simple and automatic: as you're typing in an edit window, put brackets around Mercury (like this: [[Mercury]]) and you'll have a link. But were you intending to link to Mercury the element, the planet, the car, the record label, the NASA-manned spaceflight project or the Roman god?
Note that disambiguation is not to 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 "lift" and "elevator"). ").--http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disambiguation [Oct 2004]
