@dipikabh Could these pages not simply be on the same level as their disambiguation pages?

[dipikabh]

That was my first thought instead of creating sub-folders. But I am guessing the original idea would have been to keep related terms together in the folder organization.

I checked, and we have this guideline for creating glossary sub-pages: Dealing with disambiguation. We can bring it up in one of our internal meetings to discuss the pros and cons and any historical context.
