[wp-docs] codex page titles

[Michael B]

If I know for a fact that all pages should be "Designing_Headers", then I 
will use that format. I can not find the page I followed to get to the 
template hierarchy page, that I originally referenced, but any I see today 
are all Template_Hierarchy. Go figure. The external linking is the odd case, 
for sure. And if I come across any links that look wrong, I will bring it to 
someone's attention. Thanks for clarifying things.
