- Don't comment code that is self-explanatory: when the names, the signature or the code already say it, add no comment.
- Comment the code that is weird, unexpected or surprising (a workaround, a non-obvious constraint, an order that matters): that's where readers need one.
- Keep comments short, one line when possible. Point to the details instead of writing them out: link the issue, PR, documentation or upstream bug that explains them.
- Prefer linking the PR that adds the comment over older references: its description can hold all the context, and link to those older issues and PRs.
- When moving an existing comment, keep its wording: fix typos, don't rephrase it.
- Put each comment on the code it applies to, never floating between unrelated lines. To explain why an option keeps its default value, write that option with its default value, like `trailingSlash: undefined`, and comment it.

Qualify references to issues in other repositories.

If a PR fixes an issue in another repository, Fixes #<ISSUE-NUMBER> can close an unrelated Docusaurus issue with the same number. Use the repository-qualified reference for cross-repository issues.

Update the issue-reference guidance in the Related issues/PRs instructions to
require repository-qualified references for issues in other repositories, while
keeping the unqualified format for issues in the current repository and
preserving the note that GitHub closes the linked issue when the PR is merged.

Qualify the closing-keyword instruction for stacked PRs.

GitHub ignores closing keywords when a PR targets a non-default branch. Because stacked PRs target the lower PR’s branch, Fixes #<ISSUE-NUMBER> does not create the issue link during review. State that the keyword applies only to PRs targeting the default branch, and instruct maintainers to link stacked PRs manually or add the keyword after rebasing.
