=== Use the singular form ===
Article titles are generally singular in form, e.g. [[Smart grid]], not [[Smart grids]]. Exceptions include nouns that are always in a plural form in English (e.g. scissors or trousers) and the names of classes of objects (e.g. [[Non-governmental organisations]]).
=== Avoid abbreviations ===
Abbreviations and acronyms are often ambiguous and thus should be avoided. Exception to the rule is the ''EU''. It is also unnecessary to include an acronym in addition to the name in a title.
=== Avoid definite and indefinite articles ===
Do not place definite or indefinite articles (''the'', ''a'', and ''an'') at the beginning of titles unless they are part of a proper name (e.g. [[A European Strategy for low emission mobility]]) or otherwise change the meaning.
=== Use nouns ===
Nouns and noun phrases are normally preferred over titles using other parts of speech; such a title can be the subject of the first sentence.
=== Do not enclose titles in quotes ===
''Is there any page title in quotes at the Commission's website? No.''
=== Do not create subsidiary articles ===
Do not use titles suggesting that one article forms part of another: even if an article is considered subsidiary to another (as where summary style is used), it should be named independently. For example, an article on transport in Azerbaijan should not be given a name like "Azerbaijan/Transport" or "Azerbaijan (transport)", use ''Transport in Azerbaijan''.
