Template:Short description is used to add a short description (which can be edited from within Wikipedia) to a Wikipedia page. These descriptions appear in Wikipedia searches and elsewhere, and help users identify the desired article.
Usage
සංස්කරණය{{Short description|Write your short description here}}
This should be limited to about 40 characters, as explained at WP:SDFORMAT, along with the other guidance at WP:SDCONTENT.
Parameters
සංස්කරණයTemplateData for කෙටි විස්තරය
Creates a short description for a Wikipedia page, which is displayed in search results and other locations.
Parameter | Description | Type | Status | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Description | 1 | The short description of the article or 'none'. It should be limited to about 40 characters.
| Content | required |
No replace? | 2 | Should be unused or 'noreplace'. Templates with noreplace will not replace a short description defined by an earlier template. Mainly for use within transcluded templates.
| String | optional |
pagetype | pagetype | The type of page. This puts it in the appropriate category - Things with short description. Normally unneeded, since handled through namespace detection.
| String | optional |
About writing good short descriptions
සංස්කරණයThis page is about the short description template; it does not provide guidelines for writing a good short description. If you plan to use this template, you should make sure you read and follow the detailed guidance at WP:HOWTOSD. General information can be found at Wikipedia:Short description.
Template information
සංස්කරණයEventually all articles should have a short description:
- by directly using this template, in which case the short description will be unique to the article
- transcluded in another template, such as a disambiguation template, where a generic short description is adequate for a large class of pages
- where the short description is assembled from data in an infobox
Automatically generated descriptions within templates should set the second parameter as noreplace
so they do not override any short descriptions specifically added to the transcluding article.
Short descriptions are not normally needed for non-article pages, such as redirects, but can be added if useful.
If the article title alone is sufficient to ensure reliable identification of the desired article, a null value of {{short description|none}} may be used.
Short descriptions do not necessarily serve the same function as the Wikidata description for an item and they do not have to be the same, but some overlap is expected in many cases. Some Wikidata descriptions may be unsuitable, and if imported must be checked for relevance, accuracy and fitness for purpose. Responsibility for such imports lies with the importer.
Example
සංස්කරණයAt Oxygen therapy, add the following at the very top of the article, above everything else:
- {{Short description|Use of oxygen as medical treatment}}
Testing
සංස්කරණයFor testing purposes, the display of this template can be enabled by adding a line to your Special:MyPage/common.css:
.shortdescription { display:block !important; }
This can be easily removed or disabled when testing is finished.
If you want to always see short descriptions, you may prefer a more utilitarian layout, such as:
.shortdescription {
display:block !important;
white-space: pre-wrap;
}
.shortdescription::before {
content: "\A[Short description:\0020";
}
.shortdescription::after {
content: "]\A";
}
There is a test version of this template available as Template:Short description/test which displays its text by default.
- {{Short description/test}} displays the short description if supplied
- {{Short description/test}} displays nothing if
none
is supplied - {{Short description/test}} displays the description from Wikidata if
wikidata
is supplied.
Taking diving (Q1096878) as an example:
{{short description/test|Underwater diving where breathing is from equipment independent of the surface}}
→{{short description/test|none}}
→{{short description/test|wikidata}}
→
Pagetype parameter
සංස්කරණයIf {{{Pagetype}}} is not set, then this template adds the article to a category based on the namespace:
- ප්රවර්ගය:Articles with short description (0)
- ප්රවර්ගය:Redirects with short description (0) — for redirects in any namespace
If {{{Pagetype}}} is set, then this template adds the article to a category matching the parameter. For example:
- Cat:Redirects with short description —
pagetype = Redirect
Aliases
සංස්කරණයWhile there are currently redirects to this template, they must not be used, for the reasons below:
- Other templates and gadgets attempt to extract short descriptions from pages by explicitly searching for the transclusions of the {{Short description}} template.
- For example, {{Annotated link}} searches for the template in its uppercase "Short description" and lowercase form "short description".
Do not start the template with a space: {{ Short description...
. While this does create a valid short description, the space will prevent searches for the {{Short description...
text.
