Naming a Section
Section names should be short, one or two words if possible. Avoid abbreviations and acronyms. Think of how the name will appear to viewers.
Capitalize the names of sections; they will appear in URL without cap. If the section name is more than one word, a dash will appear in the URL between the words.
