-The capture templates are an extension of
-`org-capture-templates', and the documentation there also
-applies.
+The Org-roam capture-templates  builds on the default behaviours of
+`org-capture-templates' by expanding them in 3 areas:
 
-`org-capture-templates' are extended in 3 ways:
+1. Template-expansion capabilities are extended with additional
+   custom syntax. See `org-roam-capture--fill-template' for more
+   details.
 
-1. Template expansion capabilities are extended with additional custom syntax.
-   See `org-roam-capture--fill-template' for more details.
-
-2. The `:file-name' key is added, which expands to the file-name
-   of the note if it creates a new file.  This file-name is
-   relative to `org-roam-directory', and is without the
-   file-extension.
+2. The `:file-name' key is added, which defines the naming format
+   to use when creating new notes. This file-name is relative to
+   `org-roam-directory', and is without the file-extension.
 
 3. The `:head' key is added, which contains the template that is
-   inserted on initial creation (added only once).  This is where
-   insertion of any note metadata should go.")
+   inserted upon the creation of a new file. This is where you
+   should add your note metadata should go.
+
+Each template should have the following structure:
+
+\(KEY DESCRIPTION `plain' `(function org-roam-capture--get-point)'
+  TEMPLATE
+  `:file-name' FILENAME-FORMAT
+  `:head' HEADER-FORMAT
+  `:unnarrowed t'
+  OPTIONS-PLIST)
+
+The elements of a template-entry and their placement are the same
+as in `org-capture-templates', except that the entry type must
+always be the symbol `plain', and that the target must always be
+the list `(function org-roam-capture--get-point)'.
+
+Org-roam requires the plist elements `:file-name' and `:head' to
+be present, and it’s recommended that `:unnarrowed' be set to t."
