==A piece of 'software' is provided access to computer resources ==

Line 78 ⟶ 81:

On a very high level, "user interface" ''could'' be viewed as an instance of computer interface where one side of hardware is of the [[Wetware (brain)|wetware]] variety, but that's not a common view. Given the potential for confusion between the "machine-machine" (covered here) and "human-machine" (not covered here) interfaces, the hatnote requires at least expansion to clarify what the article is not about.

:I'm sorry but I don't believe nor have I seen any evidence that the term '''interface''' is more commonly preceded by the qualifier ''user'' than any of the other common qualifiers, e.g., graphical user, network, hardware, software, etc. ''User interface'' is one of the several qualifiers listed on the disambiguation page so specifically listing it gives it undue prominence. Note the article does mention user interface, so I suspect the solution is to add a small section linking to the main article.

::The article does ''not'' mention "user interface", the term is located at the See also section only. And you misunderstand the problem. I'm not arguing that "user interface" is ''more'' common that "network interface", "hardware interface"... I'm arguing that it's ''qualitatively'' different, so it requires disambiguation, while the others do not require it as they're instances of the concept described in this article - and "user interface" is not.

:::The article now clearly covers "user interface" as one of several computer interfaces which makes the article now consistent with its title. [[User:Tom94022|Tom94022]] ([[User talk:Tom94022|talk]]) 18:20, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

== Joysticks are not one way only... ==

(at least when they vibrate... and especially with the touch and LCD capabilities of more modern devices). Jus' sayin'... [[Special:Contributions/86.8.54.48|86.8.54.48]] ([[User talk:86.8.54.48|talk]]) 22:25, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

Isn't there a better example then a touchscreen? Harwarewise the touchscreen consist of two seperate elements, a touch interface and a screen. <!-- Template:Unsigned IP --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/108.171.128.189|108.171.128.189]] ([[User talk:108.171.128.189#top|talk]]) 07:37, 1 August 2017 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->
