removal of disambig category
It appears we don't actually use this as a disambig. Inbound links always refer to general characteristics of an .exe, or a group of related .exes with a paragraph here, e.g. applications reading from data files, compiling an object file from source. If each individual tech article became so comprehensive that a certain link could reference, say, memory allocation in Hellmaker, then we could start re-targeting those, but we have hardly reached that level of detail currently.

A bit of restraint is needed with MediaWiki's disambiguation feature because each page requires manual maintenance. Not every taxonomy is a disambiguation; the prose must also largely fail in explaining its title to the lay reader, because the specific cases are too different, e.g. Eternity, Khorus, Saturn.
