Edit with care
ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿAny edit you make to the following text should be consistent with Wikipedia:Lead section, the main guideline covering this topic. Also, take care that the edit is appropriate for all of the articles into which the text is transcluded (a list of such articles is provided below).
TRANSCLUDE TEXT
ಬದಲಾಯಿಸಿAs explained in more detail at Wikipedia:Lead section#Introductory text, all but the shortest articles should start with introductory text (the "lead"). The lead should establish significance, include mention of consequential or significant criticism or controversies, and be written in a way that makes readers want to know more. The appropriate length of the lead depends on that of the article, but should normally be no more than four paragraphs. The lead itself has no heading and, on pages with more than three headings, automatically appears above the table of contents, if present.
