For the same reason Wikipedia has a ton of disambiguation pages for dealing with multiple concepts that have the same name: so you know which particular thing you're talking about, instead of just going "oh I heard that word once" and going off on a lengthy tear about what turns out to be a totally different thing with the same name.
- 99_00 5y agoWikipedia is a general purpose store of knowledge. Comments exist in a context. In this case, discussion of geomancy.
- egypturnash 5y agoMore precisely I would say that the context is "discussion of a site about geomancy-the-divination-method", not "discussion of geomancy-the-landscape-related-magic-system" or "discussion of anything called geomancy".
