I would presume so yes as the rules do say the titles should include it

Ah. Can I suggest then both changing that rule and stopping doing it? It actually makes the section harder to read

IT seems like it should but it doesn't - cognitive load scanning a list of similarly formatted phrases is higher.

I'm not doing it and the rules don't state that you have to, but personally I prefer it when people do.

I'm not doing it either, and the rules don't state that you have to, but personally I couldn't give a shit either way.
