Template:Nutshell/doc

This is the nutshell message box.

This template presents a concise summary at the top of Wikipedia policy and guideline pages. It is placed below the title and other infoboxes and above the first paragraph of the main body.


 * Use the nutshell summary to make Wikipedia more inviting to new users.
 * Nutshell entries must be brief overviews, with a very high signal to noise ratio.
 * Make sure each word in the nutshell carries significant weight, "make every word tell".
 * Wikilink to other pages to create a "nut trail" of pages with nutshells.
 * Consider the Wikipedia Policy in a nutshell effort when contributing in a nutshell.

This template can also be used on other pages, for instance on how-to guides. But it should not be used in articles.
