noun. the act or process of distinguishing between similar things, meanings, names, etc., in order to make the meaning or interpretation more clear or certain: Word sense disambiguation helps determine which meaning a word has in any given context.

Disambiguation in Wikipedia is the process of resolving conflicts that arise when a potential article title is ambiguous, most often because it refers to more than one subject covered by Wikipedia, either as the main topic of an article, or as a subtopic covered by an article in addition to the article's main topic.

disambiguated; disambiguating; disambiguates. transitive verb. : to clarify (something ambiguous) especially by providing or considering additional information.

Disambiguation pages disambiguate Wikipedia articles, not the World-Wide Web. To note URLs that might be helpful in the future, include them on the talk page. References should not appear on disambiguation pages. Dab pages are not articles; instead, incorporate the references into the target articles.
