message: The link isn't correct. Currently, "colours" only redirect to "color". Should it point to Colours, standards and guidons instead? CapnZapp (talk) 23:40, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Linking it to Colours, standards and guidons#Ceremonies of Colours might be better. VMS Mosaic (talk) 20:14, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Color (medieval music) should be merged to Color (disambiguation) since "Color (medieval music)" only has two entries. Hyacinth (talk) 08:20, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: But Color (medieval music) isn't a disambiguation page. It has actual encyclopedic content. It's a "multi-stub article" in the sense of WP:DAB, joining several related topics in a single article, but it's a regular article nevertheless. Content of this type could not be integrated in a disambiguation page; it would be lost. Fut.Perf. ☼ 08:32, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge [[Color (medieval music)]]

message: Some of the entries in this list seem to be dictionary definitions, that belong elsewhere, possibly wikitionary.  For instance, under Color (disambiguation)#Science we currently have an entry to Dye.  So I checked Dye, which had a piped link [[coloured which I changed to  coloured
Under Color (disambiguation)#Visual art we have 
* Color, in typography, the overall density and balance between white space and print in a page layout
I know something about typography, but have not come across this term.  My problem with this entry is do any articles on typography use the term "color"?  Do they link to color, or something like color (typography)?  If they link to color (typography) then the redlink to color (typography) should be used in the disambiguation page entry.  And if none of the contributors to typography ever linked to color, no disambiguation entry is needed here.
Under Color (disambiguation)#Other uses in music we have
* Tone color, or timbre
* Color, in medieval music theory, a sequence of repeated notes in the cantus firmus tenor of a composition, in isorhythm
* Coloration, in medieval music theory, a technique of marking notes, in mensural notation
# With regard to the first entry, does this really need disambiguation?  Isn't the title distinct enough it couldn't be confused with actual colours?
# With regard to the second entry, I tried to read isorythm, it never links to color.  It doesn't link to anything like color (isorhythm) either.  One has to be careful when considering copy-editing material one doesn't understand, and I frankly lack the musical background to understand the article on isorhythm.  However, I think this entry should only exist if there was a possibility some other article needed to link to the concept of a color (isorhythm), and then this entry should also include a link to color (isorhythm).
# We have an article Color (medieval music), which has subsections Color (medieval music)#Coloration (mensural notation device), Color (medieval music)#Color (isorhythm), Color (medieval music)#Coloration (ornamentation), Color (medieval music)#Color (chromaticism)
There are more problematic entries.  Geo Swan (talk) 19:14, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
