This template presents a [[Wikipedia:WP:TRITE|concise]] summary at the top of [[Wikipedia:Administration#Data structure and development|administration pages]]. It is placed below the title and other infoboxes and above the first paragraph of the main body. <br />
<br />
* Use the nutshell summary to make Wikipedia more inviting to [[Wikipedia:Welcoming committee|new users]].<br />
* Nutshell entries must be brief overviews, with a very high meaning to number of words ratio.<br />
* Make sure each word in the nutshell carries significant weight, "[[The Elements of Style|make every word tell]]".<br />
* [[Wikipedia:WP:CONTEXT|Wikilink]] to other pages to create a "nut trail" of pages with nutshells.<br />
<br />
This template can also be used on other pages, for instance on how-to guides. But it should not be used in articles.<br />
