When an article is large, it is often rewritten as a summary. This [[Help:Template|template]] is used after the heading of the summary, to link to the sub-article that has been (or will be) summarised.
This template is '''not''' to be used as a substitute for inline links or as a "[[Template:See also|see also]]". Its usage should be restricted to the purpose described above.
==Usage==
<pre>{{Main
|Article 1
}}</pre>
You may also include additional links, up to ten in total:
<pre>{{Main
|Article 1
|Article 2
|Article 3
|Article 4
|Article 5
|Article 6
|Article 7
|Article 8
|Article 9
|Article 10
}}</pre>
For each link, you may optionally specify a link appearance (this is for articles where a piped link would be used). Note that the extra parameters use a lower case 'L' (e.g. the first is 'ell-one', not 'one-one'):
<pre>{{Main
