Template:Long plot/doc

The objective of a summary is to condense a large amount of information into a short, accessible format. It is not to reproduce the experience of reading or watching the story, nor to cover every detail. For those who have not read or seen the story, it should serve as a general overview of the major points. For those who have, it should be detailed enough to refresh their memory—no more.

This template will categorize tagged articles into Category:Articles with plot summary needing attention.

Usage

This template can refer to a section (or another article part), instead of the default article:

{{Long plot|section}}

{{Long plot|1=paragraph}}

This template can be dated:

If the article contains multiple plot summaries, use |plural=yes.

Redirects
