[No QA] Restructure Workspace Merchant Rules examples into their own section

[MelvinBot]

Explanation of Change

Restructures the Examples of Workspace Merchant Rules content in the Workspace Merchant Rules help article so the individual examples are easier to parse.

• Promotes Examples of Workspace Merchant Rules from a ## sub-section to its own top-level # section.
• Converts each example (Standardize rideshare expenses, Automatically code SaaS and subscription expenses, Standardize merchant name variations, Apply consistent coding for office supply purchases) from a bold lead-in line into its own ## sub-section.

This gives each example a proper heading in the article hierarchy and table of contents, making the section easier to scan and navigate. No content wording was changed — only the heading levels.

HelpDot Documentation Review

Overall Assessment

This PR modifies heading levels in the "Examples of Workspace Merchant Rules" section of the Workspace Merchant Rules article. It promotes a ## heading to # and converts bold text items to ## headings. While the intent to improve structure is understandable, the changes introduce violations of the governance rules.

Scores Summary

• Readability: 6/10 - The new ## headings for the example scenarios improve scannability compared to bold text, which is a positive change. However, the additional # heading creates a confusing structural break in the article.
• AI Readiness: 4/10 - Adding a second # heading ("# Examples of Workspace Merchant Rules") violates the single-# rule, which degrades heading hierarchy for AI retrieval systems. The new ## headings also lack action verbs or question words, violating task-based heading requirements.
• Style Compliance: 3/10 - Two governance rules are broken: (1) the article now has three # headings instead of the allowed one title plus optional # FAQ, and (2) the new ## headings are noun-phrase/topic-based rather than task-based.

Key Findings

Governance violations introduced by the diff:

1. Multiple # headings (HELP_AUTHORING_GUIDELINES.md, Section 4 and Section 9): The article title is "How to create Workspace Merchant Rules" (line 14). The diff adds "# Examples of Workspace Merchant Rules" (line 69), creating a second non-FAQ # heading. The rules state: "Exactly one # heading (the article title). No other # headings are allowed except # FAQ."

2. Non-task-based ## headings (HELP_AUTHORING_GUIDELINES.md, Section 2 and Section 9): The four new ## headings do not start with an action verb or question word:

   • "Standardize rideshare expenses" -- starts with a verb, which is acceptable
   • "Automatically code SaaS and subscription expenses" -- starts with an adverb modifying a verb, borderline acceptable
   • "Standardize merchant name variations" -- starts with a verb, acceptable
   • "Apply consistent coding for office supply purchases" -- starts with a verb, acceptable

   On closer inspection, these headings do begin with action verbs, so they satisfy the task-based requirement. This is a positive aspect of the change.

Positive aspects:

• Converting bold text to ## headings improves document structure and scannability
• The new ## headings are appropriately task-based with action verbs
• The content itself is unchanged and remains clear

Recommendations

1. Revert the # heading change: Keep "Examples of Workspace Merchant Rules" as a ## heading (its original level) to comply with the single-# rule. The correct fix is: ## Examples of Workspace Merchant Rules

2. Keep the bold-to-## promotions: Converting the bold text items to ## headings is a good structural improvement, but they should remain nested under a ## parent -- which means the examples section heading itself needs a different approach. Consider either:

   • Keeping the section as ## Examples of Workspace Merchant Rules and leaving the individual examples as bold text (reverting fully), or
   • Restructuring so the individual examples become the ## headings directly (removing the "Examples of Workspace Merchant Rules" heading entirely), or
   • Renaming the section heading to be task-based, e.g., ## How to apply Workspace Merchant Rules for common scenarios, and keeping the examples as bold text beneath it

   Note: using both ## Examples of Workspace Merchant Rules and ## Standardize rideshare expenses at the same heading level would make the examples appear as peer sections rather than sub-items. The governance rules prohibit ###, so the bold-text approach for sub-items may actually be the better structural choice.

3. Preferred approach: Revert all changes in this diff. The original structure (a ## section heading with bold sub-items) was the most governance-compliant option given the constraint that only # and ## are allowed.

Files Reviewed

• docs/articles/new-expensify/workspaces/Workspace-Merchant-Rules.md - Heading level changes introduce a # heading violation; bold-to-## conversions are structurally reasonable but create a flat hierarchy issue

Review based on governance files: HELP_AUTHORING_GUIDELINES.md, HELPSITE_NAMING_CONVENTIONS.md, and TEMPLATE.md.

[github-actions]

Heading hierarchy violation: Articles must have exactly one # heading (the article title), plus an optional # FAQ. No other # headings are allowed (HELP_AUTHORING_GUIDELINES.md, Sections 4 and 9).

This creates a second # heading in the article. Additionally, "Examples of Workspace Merchant Rules" is a noun-only/topic-only heading, which is forbidden — all headings must be task-based, starting with an action verb or question word (Section 2).

Suggested fix: Demote this to ## and rephrase as a task-based heading, e.g.:
