* Keep your writing informative and not too casual.
 
-
* Avoid using technical language where appropriate.
 
-
* If you need to use acronyms, explain them with the first use.
 
-
* Page names should be short and to the point.
 
-
** The page name is a label, not a sentence.
 
-
** Use spaces. NoCamelCase (i.e., use "Root access" instead of "RootAccess").
 
-
** Use sentence capitalization for page titles.
