LOL!

Of course, Emerson said *foolish* consistency. The difference between
foolish and wise is left as an exercise for the reader...

For conceptual information, I use "About <x>", as in "About Conversation

I use "<x>: Reference". 
For context-sensitive help, I use the context name:
* name of dialog box
* name of wizard:name of page
* name of window
* name of tool/tag/identifier
