Template documentation | This template adds an automatically generated short description. If the automatic short description is not optimal, replace it by adding {{Short description}} at the top of the article. |
Purpose
Adds standardized WP:Short description metadata to the portal.
Usage
Output
- Code this will output:
{{Short description|OODA WIKI portal for content related to {{PAGENAME}}}}- Resulting description:
- OODA WIKI's portal for exploring content related to Portal title
Parameter
The parameter |topic= or |1= can be used to override the default topic display, which is the base pagename. This is primarily to disambiguate or clarity; while our portal names are as concise as we can make them while still being recognizable, this is not always ideal, descriptively.
- Example:
- Portal:English would get a default description of "OODA WIKI portal for content related to English", which might be confusing to some readers (English culture and people? English history?).
- Code:
{{Portal description|the English language}}
or{{Portal description}}
Do not add a separate {{Short description}} template to the portal in attempt to override the default output of this template; use this template's parameter instead, or the page will have two conflicting short descriptions. If a different style of short description is necessary, replace {{Portal description}} with {{Short description}}, in which the full short description is required as the parameter.
Viewing short descriptions
To temporarily or permanently turn on inline display of short description content on OODA WIKI pages, see Template:Short description/doc#Testing.
