Created page with "{{Documentation subpage}} This is the {{tl|nutshell}} message box. This template presents a concise summary at the top of [[Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines|Wi..."

New page

{{Documentation subpage}}

This is the {{tl|nutshell}} message box.

This template presents a [[WP:TRITE|concise]] summary at the top of [[Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines|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 [[Wikipedia:Welcoming committee|new users]].
* Nutshell entries must be brief overviews, with a very high meaning to number of words ratio.
* Make sure each word in the nutshell carries significant weight, "[[The Elements of Style|make every word tell]]".
* [[WP:CONTEXT|Wikilink]] to other pages to create a "nut trail" of pages with nutshells.
* Consider the [[WP:nutshell| 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.
