Styles A-Z/P/Page

Page

Use an en dash with page numbers, as in pages 38–45.

Use title-style capitalization for UI page, related list, and screen names. In documentation, use the page name exactly as it appears on the screen.

Use page instead of screen to refer to the user interface. Exception: For mobile interfaces, use OS-specific terminology if it applies. For example, in iOS, the main page is called home screen. See Mobile Interfaces and Documentation.
