-Have a look at the existing dialect pages, e.g. [[Dyalog APL]], to see how these values are used, Try to fill in as many as you can (except the singular/plural alternatives and <code>title</code> which you only need to supply if the language title differs from the page title).
+Have a look at the existing dialect pages, e.g. [[Dyalog APL]], to see how these values are used, Try to fill in as many as you can (but use only one of each singular/plural pair). You only need to use <code>title</code> if the language title differs from the page title (e.g. for technical reason like the inability to create a page that begins with a lowercase letter). In that case, you may also want to begin the page with <code><nowiki>{{Actually|real name}}</nowiki></code> where <code>real name</code> should be the proper name of the dialect.
+=== Mentioning subjects that have their own page ===
+It is fine for a page to have a section about a subject that also has its own page. When that happens, begin the section with <code><nowiki>{{Main|subject}}</nowiki></code> where <code>subject</code> is the target page title. Don't include double brackets (as a page link) — it is done for you.
