Talk:Knowledge (disambiguation)

Removal of the items called "Know"

Per disambig rules, dab pages are for items that can be called with the same name. Maybe my English is poor, but I dont believe that any item calld "know" may also be called "knowledge. - Altenmann >talk 19:57, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That is the correct purpose of a disambiguation page, but not every DAB page is for one single term. If other similar terms also share a primary topic, as in this case, then those terms can also be disambiguated on the same page. -- Fyrael (talk) 20:14, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Knowledge" is not the same topic as "know". YOu cannot possibly say: "Knowledge may also refer to" ... ""Know" (Mary J. Blige song)", which is plain false. - Altenmann >talk 20:17, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's just an argument for the lead to say "Knowledge, know, or known may also refer to:", which you're right we should do. I will endeavor to find some of the other similar DAB pages that do this, so you don't think this is a concept I just created. It's quite a standard practice for near terms that would be too small for their own DAB page. -- Fyrael (talk) 20:19, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Causality (disambiguation) is one such, where it includes many entries ambiguous with "causal". On that page, like this case, the words are just different parts of speech. "Causality" is just the noun form of the adjective "causal", so they very much are the same topic. "Knowledge" is the noun form of the verb "know". It's true that we don't always do this, but I think the only times we don't are when each term has easily enough entries to warrant separate pages. I'd argue this isn't a case like that. -- Fyrael (talk) 20:26, 14 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
