#What minimum standards does Server Fault have for recommending software, SaaS, and products in general in answers?

I'm active on Super User and we have the Meta question [How do I recommend software in my answers?][1] which provides some basic expectations such as:

* Title of the the product with a link to the download/main page
* Give a brief overview of HOW to use the product OR in cases where it's too long, link to the product's manual pages
* Give any personalized information to the OP regarding how the recommendation solves his/her question.

What are the expectations for Server Fault? The help center doesn't seem to provide any guidance on this.

**Note:** Questions *asking* for product recommendations are off-topic. However, a good answer to an on-topic question may include a product recommendation. It is specifically regarding these answers on which my question focuses.
