- Avoid all forms of the phrases *high availability* and *HA*, and instead
direct readers to the GitLab [reference architectures](../../administration/reference_architectures/index.md)
for information about configuring GitLab to have the performance needed for
additional users over time.
- Don't use profanity or obscenities. Doing so may negatively affect other
users and contributors, which is contrary to GitLab's value of
[diversity and inclusion](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/values/#diversity-inclusion).
[Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/values/#diversity-inclusion).
- Avoid the use of [racially-insensitive terminology or phrases](https://www.marketplace.org/2020/06/17/tech-companies-update-language-to-avoid-offensive-terms/). For example:
- Use *primary* and *secondary* for database and server relationships.
- Use *allowlist* and *denylist* to describe access control lists.
