	This page provides the standards for headings and how to create them. There should be no need for a heading with the page's title since the page's name should be its title. For example, a page on DNA Technology should be named "DNA_Technology".

			The best practice for headings is to not exceed level 2 headings. Authors should strive to avoid heading levels 3, 4, etc. Using bullet lists or numbered lists can often replace the use of headings levels beyond 2.

			For completeness, here are what additional heading levels look like:
