-*helpfile_name.txt*	For Vim version 7.3	Last change: 2010 June 4
+*plugin_name.txt*	{short description of the plugin}
 
-The first field is a link to the help file name.  The second field describes
-the applicable Vim version.  The last field specifies the last modification
-date of the file.  Each field is separated by a tab.
+The first field is a help tag where ":help plugin_name" will jump to.  The
+remainder of the line, after a Tab, describes the plugin purpose in a short
+way.  This will show up in the "LOCAL ADDITIONS" section of the main help
+file.  Check there that it shows up properly: |local-additions|.
+
+If you want to add a version number of last modification date, put it in the
+second line, right aligned.
