=== Article titles ===

== Article titles ==

When choosing an article's title, refer to the [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Article titles|article titles]] policy. A title should be a recognizable name or description of the topic that is natural, sufficiently precise, concise, and consistent with the titles of related articles. If these criteria are in conflict, they should be balanced against one another.

The guidance contained elsewhere in the UMoS, particularly {{section link||Punctuation}} (below) applies to all parts of an article, including the title.

== Section organization ==

=== Section organization ===

An article should begin with an introductory ''lead section'', which should not contain section headings ''(see [[UniWiki:Manual of Style/Lead section]])''. The remainder of the article may be divided into sections, each with a section heading (see below) that can be nested in a hierarchy.

Line 58:

Other article elements include [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Hatnote|disambiguation hatnotes]] (normally placed at the very top of the article) and [[UniWiki:Manual of Style/Infobox|infoboxes]] (usually placed before the lead section).

Use equal signs to mark the enclosed text as a section heading: <code><nowiki>=Title=</nowiki></code> for a primary section; <code><nowiki>==Title==</nowiki></code> for the next level (a subsection); and so on to the lowest-level subsection, with <code><nowiki>=====Title=====</nowiki></code>. Spaces between the equal signs and the heading text are optional, and will not affect the way the heading is displayed. The heading must be typed on a separate line. Include one blank line above the heading, and optionally one blank line below it, for readability in the edit window (but not two or more consecutive blank lines, which will add unnecessary visible space in the rendered page). There is no need to include a blank line between a heading and sub-heading.

A level 1 heading <code><nowiki>=Title=</nowiki></code> is possible, but these are usually reserved for the article title itself, which is automatically generated.

The provisions in {{section link||Article titles}} generally apply to section headings as well (for example, headings are in sentence case, not title case). The following points apply specifically to section headings:
