* 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/<name>` or `#mk/<name>` for all channels
pertaining to the marketing team, `#help/<team name>` for
`<team name>`'s internal support channel, etc.
* You can [pin reference information](/help/pin-information), such as important
messages or topics, and external references, in the
[description](/help/view-channel-information#view-channel-description) for a
channel.
* 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.
