I propose a number of changes to the Wikipedia software to enable "software assisted context resolution", or if you prefer "software assisted disambiguation". The primary purpose of these changes is to allow users to more easily resolve ambiguous links at the time they are created, or if necessary, at some later stage. I stress that this is not "automatic" link resolution, although the process will be invoked automatically in many cases.
Well we sort of already have this... Maintenance page -> disambiguation pages with links
:-)
The other mechanism we have for this is Plain Old Brainpower -- if you write in a certain area of the Wikipedia for some time, you come to know which pages are disambiguation and which aren't.
