If the original title begins with a number or number + gratuitous adjective, we'd appreciate it if you'd crop it. E.g. translate "10 Ways To Do X" to "How To Do X," and "14 Amazing Ys" to "Ys." Exception: when the number is meaningful, e.g. "The 5 Platonic Solids."
Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait

- freework 14y agoI've never understood that rule, seems kind of arbitrary...
- hayksaakian 14y agoThe number is arbitrary, but advertised as though it were not.
- exodust 14y agoInteresting. I think I agree with @freework, although it's quite trivial I suppose. There are 10 items in the article, 10 separate points with headings. The author chose to draw attention to that in the title, maybe to offer a clue as to the quantity and arrangement of the document?
