This template presents a [[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.

* 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.

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

== Usage ==
<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{nutshell|text}}</syntaxhighlight>
Renders like this:
{{nutshell|text}}

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{nutshell|First bullet point.|Second bullet point.|Third bullet point.}}</syntaxhighlight>
yields:
{{nutshell|First bullet point.|Second bullet point.|Third bullet point.}}

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{Nutshell|title=That's me|Concise summary of this page.}}</syntaxhighlight>
yields:
{{nutshell|title=That's me|Concise summary of this page.}}

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{Nutshell|title=That's me|Concise summary of this page.|shortcut=me}}</syntaxhighlight>
yields:
{{nutshell|title=That's me|Concise summary of this page.|shortcut=me}}

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">{{Nutshell|title=That's me|Concise summary of this page.|shortcut=me|shortcut2=you|shortcut3=them|shortcut4=us|shortcut5=everyone}}</syntaxhighlight>
yields:
{{Nutshell|title=That's me|Concise summary of this page.|shortcut=me|shortcut2=you|shortcut3=them|shortcut4=us|shortcut5=everyone}}
