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. |
Adds standardized WP:Short description metadata to the portal.
((Short description|Wikipedia portal for content related to ((PAGENAME))))
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.
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.
To temporarily or permanently turn on inline display of short description content on Wikipedia pages, see Template:Short description/doc#Testing.
