What about "flag" in the wikipedia sense? As in: Flagged as inaccurate, flagged as needing improvement, etc... I can't seem to find help on how to do this anywhere!! Would this be in a different wiki? There are so many...! -- Yuletide 21:13, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Disambiguation pages disambiguate Wikipedia articles, or topics within Wikipedia articles. The use of flag as a slang term for a type of poker chip or casino token is not supported by that article, and the disambiguation page is not the place to assert the usage. Add it to the appropriate article--preferably with a reference to a reliable source, and then it may be added to the dab page.-- ShelfSkewed Talk 05:28, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
In recent years, "flags" have been used more and more often in the area of anime and manga, to the point that a light novel series has even been made centered on the concept. The term "flag" in this case is derived from visual novels, and basically refers to a decision, event or situation that alters and defines the current and/or future relationships or destinies of specific characters. One good example of the use of the term is the Shibo(Death) Flag, which refers to any number of actions or statements that seem to guarantee the imminent death of a character, such as a character saying he means to propose if he succeeds at a task. Since it's come to be used often in this particular genre/medium, should there not be some mention of this use somewhere on the disambiguation page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.30.50.240 ( talk) 18:05, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
