Template:Nutshell/doc

This is the {{nutshell}} message box.

This template presents a concise summary at the top of Wikibooks policy and guideline pages.

• Use the nutshell summary to make Wikibooks 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.

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