== Deciding on an article title ==
Article titles are mostly based on how reliable English-language sources refer to the article's subject<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Article_titles#Deciding_on_an_article_title</ref>. When it comes to policies, actors and terminology, try the following tools:
*Check how European insitutions refer to what you want to write about<ref>English version of the [https://ec.europa.eu/commission/index_en European Commission]'s website.</ref>
*Search the web for exact matches<ref>On Google, use double quotations, e.g. [https://www.google.gr/search?q=exact+matches+google&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&gws_rd=cr&ei=CV4YWY7yEuHYgAbL7KXYCw#q=%22beaches+of+Alonissos%22 "beaches of Alonissos"]</ref>
*There is often more than one appropriate title for an article. In that case, reach out to the support channel on slack!

A good wiki article title should be:
* '''Recognisable''' – The title is a name or description of the subject that someone familiar with, although not necessarily an expert in -e.g. a ''delegate'', the subject area will recognise.
* '''Natural''' – The title is one that readers are likely to look or search for and that editors would naturally use to link to the article from other articles. Such a title usually conveys what the subject is actually called in English.
* '''Precise''' – The title unambiguously identifies the article's subject and distinguishes it from other subjects.
* '''Concise''' – The title is no longer than necessary to identify the article's subject and distinguish it from other subjects.
* '''Consistent''' – The title is consistent with the pattern of similar articles' titles, e.g. articles in the same content category.

If you end up with an article not corresponding with its title, consider [[Help:Renaming a page|renaming]] it.

 === 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]]).
