[wp-docs] Redundancy in article titles

The use of WordPress is intentional. It should NOT be in the guidelines 
NOT to use it. It is for keyword search and specific title references. 
When it is overkill, then don't use it, but it should be in things like 
"WordPress Lessons" and "Installing WordPress" and titles similar to 
that. It's appropriate usage.

When we work on the Codex, we're intimately involved with every nuance 
and become sensitive to these things. When people use the Codex, they 
are there for the few minutes it takes to get the answers, not 
nitpicking over the titles. If the title helps them track down the 
problem, then they go for it. It also helps with those who save the 
links to bookmarking services and such to say "WordPress" in the title 
and not just "Installation". Make sense?

Think this through to how the user uses the Codex. Let the page title 
stand but you can change the title when linking within the Codex if the 
"WordPresses" bother you.
