'''Add only enough context to make a page title unambiguous.''' Generic pages that could have equivalents elsewhere in the wiki should include their context, such as <code>High school schedule</code> rather than <code>Schedule</code>. Pages with naturally distinctive names, such as <code>Biology</code> or <code>Algebra II</code>, generally do not need a <code>High school</code> prefix. Add grade, semester, or academic year only when needed to distinguish multiple pages. Prefer readable names such as <code>Grade 11 schedule — Spring 2027</code> over abbreviations such as <code>G11S2</code>.

Add only enough context to make a page title unambiguous. Generic pages that could have equivalents elsewhere in the wiki should include their context, such as High school schedule rather than Schedule. Pages with naturally distinctive names, such as Biology or Algebra II, generally do not need a High school prefix. Add grade, semester, or academic year only when needed to distinguish multiple pages. Prefer readable names such as Grade 11 schedule — Spring 2027 over abbreviations such as G11S2.
