Article Titles
All articles must have a unique title. The title should indicate the subject of the article with clarity and simplicity. Long titles should be avoided. Articles should start with the appropriate prefix for each product—GMS: for GMS, SMS: for SMS, and WMS: for WMS. If the subject of the article clearly applies to all programs, do not include a prefix.

For example, an article about a Preferences dialog could be entitled either "Preferences" or "Preferences Dialog." Whichever title the article is given, the other title should be used as a redirect page.
