If you're using an older version of Moodle 1.9, to make the 'Moodle Docs for this page' links take you to the 1.9 documentation, go to ''Administration > Appearance > Moodle Docs'' and change the Moodle Docs document root to https://docs.moodle.org/19/. Alternatively you can upgrade your site to Moodle 1.9.13.

Sysops and a few other people generally look at every new page that is created.   Do not be overly concerned if your page name is not perfect. Better to get information in it, the page name can be changed by moving the content to another page later.

Packages are built using HTTrack website copier plus custom shell scripts for packaging the contents.
*Generally, a new page name should only have the first word capitalized. Moodle in a page name is always capitalized.  There are lots of exceptions and older pages that have never be edited to meet this standard which has evolved over time.
