Added page guidance
What does this MR do?
This MR adds guidance for the word "page" because lately I've seen several cases where we refer to the page name, but it's not clear because the page name is not in bold.
We're doing a lot of work to use sentence case in the UI, so this guidance should help ensure that it matches the UI and is in bold, so it's more obvious that it's a page name.

Author's checklist
-
Optional. Consider taking the GitLab Technical Writing Fundamentals course. -
Follow the: -
If you're adding or changing the main heading of the page (H1), ensure that the product tier badge is added. -
If you are a GitLab team member, request a review based on: - The documentation page's metadata.
- The associated Technical Writer.
If you are a GitLab team member and only adding documentation, do not add any of the following labels:
~"frontend"
~"backend"
~"type::bug"
~"database"
These labels cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.
Reviewer's checklist
Documentation-related MRs should be reviewed by a Technical Writer for a non-blocking review, based on Documentation Guidelines and the Style Guide.
If you aren't sure which tech writer to ask, use roulette or ask in the #docs Slack channel.
-
If the content requires it, ensure the information is reviewed by a subject matter expert. - Technical writer review items:
-
Ensure docs metadata is present and up-to-date. -
Ensure the appropriate labels are added to this MR. -
Ensure a release milestone is set. - If relevant to this MR, ensure content topic type principles are in use, including:
-
The headings should be something you'd do a Google search for. Instead of Default behavior
, say something likeDefault behavior when you close an issue
. -
The headings (other than the page title) should be active. Instead of Configuring GDK
, say something likeConfigure GDK
. -
Any task steps should be written as a numbered list. - If the content still needs to be edited for topic types, you can create a follow-up issue with the docs-technical-debt label.

Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the reviews above. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.

@msedlakjakubowski Does this MR/style guidance make sense to you? Should it be here or in the style guide? I feel like the language could be improved but I'm too close to it to think clearly.
Here is the reason I opened this MR: !113485 (comment 1302783764)
I'd love a second opinion if you have one.
Thanks.
