You could solve both problems in one step: instead of having titles of
the form "Foo Bar « WordPress Codex", use "WordPress Help: Foo bar".
For example:
* WordPress Help: Upgrading
* WordPress Help: Design and layout
* WordPress Help: First steps
* WordPress Help: Using themes
* WordPress Help: Tips for high-traffic sites
Then you need never add the word "WordPress" yourself, and nor will you
need to keep explaining the word "codex".
Cheers
