Shouldn't these three different meanings have individual subheadings?

Why is there a link to this disambiguation page from the article "head" which discusses the anatomical structure of the human head? Nothing here has to do with heads, except the little "see also" section. ONUnicorn 20:16, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
Maybe there should be an item in "head (disambiguation)" that matches the meaning in "headless". That is, in somewhat archaic computer speak, a "video head" refers to the hardware that is added to a basic computer to allow it to do video graphics, possibly including pointers like mice or light-pens. At one time computers did not have standard video capabilities, but video graphics devices could be added as "bolt-on goodies".-- Albany45 18:23, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
"Because virtually all living organisms require their brain to carry out basic functions" is simply untrue. Most animals do, but animals make up a small percentage of "most living organisms." No plant, protist, fungus, or moneran has a brain to my knowledge. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.121.0.142 ( talk) 03:16, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
A question worth answering, which is why i asked it! WP:MoSDab says in part (emphasis added by Jerzy):
In this case, i consider it desirable bcz of the previous attempt for a Dab at
Headless, which was neither in Dab format nor had valid links covering the senses of "headless" or "headlessness", but for the moment is the content of
List of things described as headless. The effort at a Dab may not be wasted, so i recast each of the 5 supposed Dab entries into a Rdlk entry, grouped them, and left the result on the accompanying Dab page inside
invisible comments. Perhaps the needed corresponding articles will be written, and their Dab entries can be moved outside the comments & thereby activated, with trivial effort.

Is this a disambiguation page or not? It acts like one, but the different uses do not link to specific pages. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.104.4.159 ( talk) 18:31, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
I've never heard of "headless software" referring to text-only-I/O or lack of GUI. The only time I've ever heard "headless" in reference to computing is in the second example: a server with no human I/O devices.
Does anybody have a citation to back this up? Lesmothian ( talk) 17:56, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
I vote we remove it. For the moment I'm moving it to the end, since the server only accessible by network is the most common usage. Flying Bishop ( talk) 15:41, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Page moved. ( closed by non-admin page mover) Jerm ( talk) 21:07, 4 September 2021 (UTC)
Headless (disambiguation) → Headless – People searching "Headless" are not looking for the conditition of a skull bone partially missing (the articles Anencephaly or Decapitation apply better than the current target). The disambiguation page should be at the base title since I would assume most readers are looking for the items listed in Computing. 157.157.113.185 ( talk) 17:48, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
