URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title. Opinion articles refer to articles that their publisher doesn't explictly endorse.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) if the news is from a local publisher who doesn't clearly mention the country.

ASUS' decisions to force unwanted software onto users has put them at risk, like with Armoury Crate, MyASUS and DriverHub, and even its "AI" security features in its routers. We sought peer review from a security researcher, Paul (aka "Mr Bruh"), to dig into the topics of ASUS' vulnerabilities and exploits. If you have ASUS software installed, you should think about removing it -- and you should minimally update it. Likewise, be careful of what data you feed into ASUS' RMA and warranty system.

Not that I support Asus doing this in any way, but last I saw there was an option in BIOS to enable and disable automatic armoury crate installation. Hope that helps someone. :)
