 Most charms only need one, maybe two parts, typically consisting of one of Charmcraft's
 application-specific plugins such as the `charm plugin`_ or the `reactive plugin`_ and
 potentially the addition of further files using the :ref:`craft_parts_dump_plugin`.
 
+.. note::
+    The `charm plugin`_ is the most commonly used plugin. Its documentation is available
+    on the Juju documentation site.
