Vulkan (API) → Vulkan – There isn't anything else titled 'Vulkan' to require such title disambiguation (i.e. (API)). It's the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC, judged both by a casual xtools glance and from Vulkan (disambiguation). Since 'Vulkan' redirects here anyway, it makes perfect sense already, and change the hatnote to {{ Other uses}} SWinxy ( talk) 05:41, 31 October 2021 (UTC)
In this edit kinda makes the implicit claim that Vulkan is named after the german word for Volcano without providing any sources. To the best of my knowledge, this is incorrect, and the name is taken after the Roman god Vulcan, but with the c changes to a k for trademarkability reasons. I also don't have a proper source for this, so I'm not proposing to document this in the article.
But perhaps we should revert the change? There's also a similar change done to the disambiguation article.
Or am I missing something here?

Just to try to make it clearer:
All of the above supports this being based on the name of the Roman god, and not the German word for "Volcano".
I'm not proposing to document the above, just to remove the pretty clearly irrelevant German language tidbit, which is causing confusion .

Update: Seems someone else decided to remove the claim. I did a similar change to the disambiguation-article, but forgot to log in first. Kusmabite ( talk) 12:10, 8 February 2022 (UTC)

I don’t think so. As far as I know the word Vulkan is not an English word (
Wiktionary) therefore the reader may not know how to properly pronounce it. Pointing out Vulkan is of German origin can assist you, unless, of course, the German pronunciation is not the proper pronunciation. Maybe it’s pronounced like walkin’? ‑‑
