Comment (by melchoyce):

 Okay, two ideas: [attachment:Privacy Policy: Inline Help: Notices.png] and
 [attachment:Privacy Policy: Link.png].

 **Inline Notices**

 Display the help text in our regular WordPress info notices. You can X out
 of them, but ether way they won’t be rendered in your page, just within
 the editor block. It uses standard WordPress styles and is attention-
 grabbing, but takes up a lot of space within the editor.

 **Link to Guide**

 Alternately, we could write either a post or a handbook entry guiding
 folks through filling out their Privacy Policy page, and then link to it
 at the bottom of the policy metabox. This keeps your admin/editor from
 getting overwhelming, and allows for additional expansion later on if we
 decide to write more about privacy policies. This would be my top
 recommendation.

 Regardless of which solution we pick, we shouldn't show the help text
 within the policy metabox — it takes up a lot of room in a space that's
 already quite cramped, and it's unclear that the help text isn't a part of
 your policy itself.
