Definition versus disambiguation

[edit]

I rather like the final entry in this list ("The first moment of existence..."), but I have been scolded for placing definitions in a disambiguation list. The big bang link may be enough justification, but perhaps a disambig specialist would weigh in on this one.

Instance vs Instantiation

[edit]

In computer science, the terms have different meanings. An instantiation is not an instance, but the creation of an instance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.61.99.98 (talk) 11:53, 8 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. What is your point? Is there a problem with this article related to this information? ... By your own admission, the two words are intimately related. Instantiation is the process of creating an instance. An instance is what is created via instantiation. There is a difference but they are so intimately related that that it seems reasonable to me to group them into one article. Stevebroshar (talk) 12:39, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
