Why not have "(disambiguation)" in title?

edit

I thought disambiguation pages usually have "(disambiguation)" appended to the title name. Just curious based on Wikipedia best practices, when should that be the case, and when is it okay for the title to just be the ambiguous term by itself. Showeropera (talk) 12:54, 31 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

I think I just found the answer to my own question. In WP:DABNAME, it says:
"The title of a disambiguation page is the ambiguous term itself, provided there is no primary topic for that term. If there is a primary topic, then the tag "(disambiguation)" is added to the name of the disambiguation page, as in Jupiter (disambiguation)."
