Personally, I follow the convention used in the Emacs manual, that is Dired
mode, Hideshow mode, Org mode, etc.

Extract:

  ╭────
  │ 25.9 Org Mode
  │ =============
  │ 
  │ Org mode is a variant of Outline mode for using Emacs as an organizer
  │ and/or authoring system.  Files with names ending in the extension
  │ `.org' are opened in Org mode (*note Choosing Modes::).  To explicitly
  │ switch to Org mode, type `M-x org-mode'.
  │ 
  │    In Org mode, as in Outline mode, each entry has a heading line that
  │ starts with one or more `*' characters.  *Note Outline Format::.  In
  │ addition, any line that begins with the `#' character is treated as a
  │ comment.
  ╰────

Best regards,
  Seb
