Many first-time users of Jenkins Pipeline do not realize that the Pipeline Syntax snippet generator will generate Pipeline steps using the values they provide. They mistakenly think that they need to read the Pipeline steps reference and create the Pipeline entirely from the Pipeline steps reference documentation.
We can significantly reduce user frustration if we refer them to the Pipeline Syntax snippet generator from the plugin documentation page.
A possible fix for this is to modify the plugin documentation and add a text that briefly describes the snippet generator and a link to the snippet generator redirect on jenkins.io http://www.jenkins.io/redirect/pipeline-snippet-generator
