Disambiguation page?

OK it was brought to my attention by User:Dustin_Meany over dinner (we're both deployed to Baghdad, Iraq) that maybe having Linux go directly to a disambig page isn't the best way to explain to someone what Linux is. (I'm the guy who set that up).

What is the policy here on Citizendium? More importantly, what's the "right thing" to do here? Should going to the Linux article redirect you to Linux (operating system), which is probably what someone was expecting, and having a little note at the top saying "Hey this isn't the only meaning of 'Linux.' Click here for the disambig page"

Any comments on this? --Eric M Gearhart 13:20, 3 April 2007 (CDT)

Some disambiguation pages are inevitable. However, we want to make sure they are not ones we simply import from WP. See CZ:CZ4WP#On_stubs_and_lists. - Stephen Ewen 17:37, 3 April 2007 (CDT)
