Yeah. I've seen some like that, but really at that point I would look for another source, or make it clear that it's editorialized title.
I think something to consider really with all rules is there's always wiggle room and edge cases. With every rule, to cover all those edge cases, it would get so convoluted and long that nobody would read it.
Perhaps for the communities that see this kind of rule as appropriate, it should be more so "Avoid editorializing Article Titles"
Yup. Some rules don't have many corner cases. E.g. no bigotry. The more corner cases there are the fuzzier it gets and the more it drifts towards a recommendation than a hard rule. Some of those corner cases could be filtered by context. Many corner cases might not be relevant in a news community for example. In such a context a rule instead of recommendation might be appropriate.
What's your thoughts on instance wide recommendation: "Avoid editorializing Article Titles" instead of having it as a rule?
That probably makes sense as a general recommendation.
