The "definition" given in the first few lines of this disambig page is a definition of "terrorism", and probably shouldn't be used for the root word terror. I've changed it to a brief bit about the simplest meaning of the word. -- Mr. Billion 07:56, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
No definition of the word given. 20:09, 27.11.2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.144.153.172 ( talk) 17:10, 27 November 2008 (UTC)
Disambiguation of Soviet terror to terrorism (ex. [1]) is hardly correct. Soviet terror meant widescale political repression, but not terrorism as we understand it (when state kills their own citizens, it hardly terrorism - ex. Nazi terror = Holocaust was not terrorism). This can be further disambiguated for some countries, ex. Political repression in the Soviet Union. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 12:03, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
I agree that dab pages are not the place for article material or extended dictionary definitions, but Terror is not a dab page. It is a standard entry that has a general definition and is used more specifically in other contexts. -- Danbur ( talk) 15:40, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Disambigation "Disambiguation in Wikipedia is the process of resolving conflicts in Wikipedia article titles that occur when a single term can be associated with more than one topic, making that term likely to be the natural title for more than one article." By itself, the word "terror" refers to only one topic and has one natural page title. We note, in the article, how the concept of terror is employed by the things referencing it, but there is only one concept of "terror." Everything else is a film, book, ideology, band or naval ship based on that root concept.
When all else fails, consider what would be the easiest and most useful for a user of Wikipedia. If someone is looking for an article on "terror," he or she would want to first see the general definition and then more specific instances of that general definition's use. He or she would not want to be limited to a list of only partially related concepts. -- Danbur ( talk) 16:59, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Terror – There has been some back and forth recently over whether this title should point to
Fear or the disambiguation page (which it can not do per
WP:MALPLACED). Having worked on some of the incoming links, I believe that the disambiguation page should be moved to this title, as ambiguity has grown over the distinction between "terror" as merely an extreme kind of fear, and "terror" as the political tool which serves as the root of
Terrorism.
