Disambiguation

I don't believe that we need a disambiguation page for ingredient, as (apart from The Main Ingredient) there is only one general sense covered here. I shifted the links to secret ingredient and active ingredient into a paragraph explaining their use, and put a link to The Main Ingredient at the bottom. I doubt, however, that many people who are looking for info on TMI will just type "ingredient".

A question: Is tech-stub the best tag to use? --Slashme 08:19, 6 October 2005 (UTC) what's the main ingredient inbubblegum? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.232.65.6 (talk) 07:45, 23 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hardly anything on this article. Seems like a dictionary meaning. Top priority to fix this up.-- Warfreak 09:42, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly define Ingredients as separate from contaminants

An ingredient to be defined as a purposeful inclusion. The word definition to be clarified to be exclusive of possible contaminants. "Thus all ingredients are constituents, but not all constituents are ingredients" is too much off a blanket statement, not fully clarifying the important subject of contamination — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kevin Kevo Johnson (talk • contribs) 13:48, 14 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
