* It's often best to start with just a few channels, and add more as needed. For small teams, you can start with the default channels and go from there. * A channel's name can be in any language, and can include spaces, punctuation, and Unicode emoji. For large organizations, we recommend using a consistent naming scheme, like `#marketing/` or `#mk/` for all channels pertaining to the marketing team, `#help/` for ``'s internal support channel, etc. * Add handy links to channel descriptions with Markdown formatting: `[link text](URL)`. * For open source projects or other volunteer organizations, consider adding default channels like `#announce` for announcements, `#new members` for new members to introduce themselves and be welcomed, and `#help` so that there's a clear place users stopping by with just a single question can post.
