Disambiguation in www.moacad.com/wiki or Wikipedia:wikimedia Wikimedia is the process of resolving the conflict that occurs when articles about two or more different topics have the same natural title.

When typing a link into the wiki it is very simple to create a link by simply putting brackests around a work (for example "[[class]]") however it is not known whether the author intended the link to refer to school subjects or a group of students with the same graduating year.

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").
