Discussion

The above has been proposed the particularly high ambiguity surrounding high dynamic range and related terms.

• Support for both sections. The lead section of the above proposition disambiguates the topics with ease, is accurate and allow for good recognizability by people who are familiar with the subject. The second section is a merging of disambiguation pages about the related terms. The reasons for doing such thing despite it's not common to merge multiple Wikipedia disambiguation are due to the specific by the circumstances of the related topics:

1. There is a particularly high level of ambiguity on these topics. This subject is difficult and badly explained outside Wikipedia for common people, even those who have a not so bad level of knowledge and familiarity with the subject. This is a huge help to fight misunderstanding and misconceptions in a easy fast understandable way. This allow for both the best possible disambiguation and help in increase people knowledge. Complete disambiguation cannot be done without disambiguating related terms as people will fall into their misconceptions.
2. I believe this is a better proposition rather than the creation of numerous multiple disambiguation pages which brings multiple issues.
3. We need this at least until there is a better common understanding of the topics. I do not advocate for this the day they will be a better understanding.

If you oppose, per Wikipedia:Editing_policy#Try_to_fix_problems, you should improve it if you can rather than deleting salvageable text in an edit war without going through discussion. — SH4ever (talk) 16:52, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

If you oppose, please do not remove text without offering an alternative to the issues I stated. My proposition is the best I could propose in order to solve the specific issues of this specific disambiguation page. I'm open to all alternative that would solve them in another way. — SH4ever (talk) 17:23, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

Basically, you are going way outside of normal disambig page style guidelines. A disambig page is typically an introductory line and entries; see MOS:DABENTRIES – and some section headings if there are a lot of entries to be broken up into groups. What you're doing instead looks more like what belongs in a WP:BROAD-concept article. Too much content/explanation; too much piping and indirection, too. It cannot last in this form, but I've reverted three times already so I'll stop for now. If your text is salvagable, try to find a place where it's appropriate.

I made a few edits toward normal disambig style that may look a lot like a revert though. Dicklyon (talk) 01:53, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
