:IMO, they should just be relatively short plot ''summaries'', not extremelly long passages that could pass as a short novelisation.

::::Well, plagiarism aside, the one section that should be long on story pages is precisely the plot section, IMO. If the plot section were actually adequate, then these other sections, like references and story notes and continuity, wouldn't need to grow into the behemoths they often are. All the linkage could take place within the plot description, as it should really. I bemoan the fact that I can't really turn to this site for an accurate description of the plot of almost any adventure. What people tend to do is just slap the external link to DWRG, as if to say "that's his job, not ours". It ''should'' be one of our primary jobs to write decent plots here.
