Avoid making false promises (weak or nonexistent content) and links going to error messages.
Starting with things like: Computers shall not crash; if programs crash, they shall not crash the operating system; error messages shall be understandable; error messages should guess what you are trying to do and should explain the proper way to do it; should ask you if you want it done for you.
When you receive error messages, they reflect all possible errors, not just the ones for your situation.
