* Have only one article: [[Inheritance (object-oriented programming)]] -- [[User:JohnOwens|John Owens]], [[User:Mbecker|MB]], [[User:Wapcaplet|Wapcaplet]]

* Have only one article: [[Inheritance (computer science)]] -- [[User:TakuyaMurata|Taku]] [[User:Stephen C. Carlson|SCCarlson]]

* Have two articles: [[Inheritance (computer science)]] and [[Inheritance (object-oriented programming)]]

Line 104:

Also, I think we can talk inheritance in more general term if the article is named as inheritance (computer science). I think we still need to move this article if we have one article named inhertaicne (computer science) because if you read carefully, this article also has a general idea of inhertaince such as expansion, for instance. It is not limited to oop though the tone of the article is completely so. -- [[User:TakuyaMurata|Taku]] 04:51 6 Jun 2003 (UTC)

The disambiguation tag is too specific. When I see [[Inheritance (object-oriented programming]], I am expecting there to be a non-OOP inheritance page in programming, such as [[Inheritance (functional programming)]], which does not exist. [[Inheritance (computer science)]] is sufficient to disambiguate between inheritance in law and biology, and more specificity is unnecessary. In fact, the disambiguation page for [[Inheritance]] states "in computer science", which concedes that that is the field in which this term is apposite. [[User:Stephen C.
