I agree with extension. For example, my school's IT department uses a wiki
to collect information about common computer problems, and on a wiki about
computer problems, none of the issues share the same name.

consensus on where this code should reside. The
code is pretty clean and
lightweight, so it wouldn't increase the footprint of core MediaWiki (it
would actually decrease the existing footprint slightly since it replaces
more hacky existing core code). So core bloat isn't really an issue. The
issue is: Where does it most make sense for disambiguation features to
reside? Should disambiguation pages be supported out of the box or
require
an extension to fully support?
I'd say extension. I can think of lots of wikis that don't use
disambiguation pages. If we really want, we can stash it in
the default tarball along with the other bundled extensions.
