Template:Story holds newspaper metadata for the Brightlingsea Times worker. The worker reads these parameters from wikitext; it does not infer them from the article.

Paste the block at the very top of a story page, before the first image or paragraph.

standfirst: One or two sentences, 10–60 words (aim 20–35). This becomes the WordPress excerpt.
section: Exactly one of: Planning, Council, Environment, Community, Business, Opinion.
kicker: Short label above the headline, e.g. Waste contract.
hero: Wiki file title, e.g. File:Crystal jelly.jpg. Must match the inline image on the page.
hero_caption, hero_credit, hero_licence, hero_source: Attribution. If licence is missing here and in the file's Commons metadata, the story stays a WordPress draft. That is a legal requirement.
byline: Who produced the piece, e.g. AI-assisted, Brightlingsea Local Wiki.
tags: Comma-separated, e.g. jellyfish, marine, climate.
embargo: Optional ISO 8601. The story stays out of the editor queue until this time is in the past.
sensitive: yes or no. yes adds an extended editorial checklist in WordPress. It does not hide the page on the wiki.

Readers see only kicker, standfirst, section and byline, as a thin rule under the title. Everything else is for the worker.

Do not substitute another template name. The worker looks for
