It's not just about the search engine titles. It's bigger. When someone links, they link to "WordPress Coding Standards" and people know what that is. If they link to "Coding Standards", well, what's that?

An issue that is a little overlooked here is how HARD so many have been working on getting the word out that the WordPress Codex is the MANUAL for WordPress. Even now, not many WordPress users know what a Codex is, let alone that it is a manual for them. Ah, if I were in change of naming things...WordPress Pages would be known as "leaves". ;-)

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".
