/Use Clear Category Labels

Checklist item: Ensure that category labels, including links, clearly reflect the information and items contained within the category.

Guideline: Category titles must be understood by typical users. Users will likely have difficulty understanding vague, generalized link labels, but will find specific, detailed links, and descriptors easier to use.

Example: These labels are clear and distinct, allowing users to distinguish paths quickly.
