Template:Plot

50px Template documentation

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 categorise tagged articles into Category:Wikipedia articles with plot summary needing attention. This template is a self-reference. This template should not be substituted.
