The name or names given in the first sentence does not always match the article title. This page gives advice on the contents of the first sentence, not the article title. By the design of Wikipedia's software, an article can have only one title. When this title is a name, significant alternative names for the topic should be mentioned in the ...
A summary is not meant to reproduce the experience of reading or watching the work. In fact, readers might be here because they didn't understand the original. Just repeating what they have already seen or read is unlikely to help them. Do not attempt to re-create the emotional impact of the work through the plot summary.
When a section is written in summary style, should it's name closely reflect the title of the article? This was the subject of a dispute over a summary-style section in the article Embassy of the United States, Mogadishu about its evacuation, for which the main article is Operation Eastern Exit, and whether the section title should be the operation name or a descriptive term such as "Closure ...

It is generally agreed that one must not base reference citations on the abstract alone, but the content of an entire paper. [3] [5] This is because abstracts may not be fully representative of the full report or article. Therefore, basing ...

This decision was made in 2001 to allow a more natural and intuitive title scheme than the original camel case convention.
In applying summary style to articles, care must be taken to avoid a POV fork (that is, a split that results in either the original article or the spinoff violating NPOV policy), a difference in approach between the summary section and the spinoff article, etc. Note that this doesn't mean that an article treating one point of view is ...
