For a [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Stand-alone lists|stand-alone list]], the list's ''title'' is the page name. For an [[~~Wikipedia~~:Embedded ~~list~~|embedded list]], the list's title is usually a section title (for instance, [[Latin Empire#Latin Emperors of Constantinople, 1204–1261]]), but it can be shorter. The list title should not be misleading and should normally not include abbreviations. Additionally, an overly precise list title can be less useful and can make the list difficult to find; the precise inclusion criteria for the list should be spelled out in the lead section (see below), not the title. For instance, words like ''complete'' and ''notable'' are normally excluded from list titles. Instead, the lead makes clear whether the list is complete or whether it is limited to widely-known or notable members (i.e., those that merit articles). Note that the word "famous" is considered an unnecessary [[WP:~~PEACOCK~~|"peacock"]] embellishment and should not be used.
