Editing Template:Short description/doc (section)

While there are currently <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Short_description|hidetrans=1&hidelinks=1&limit=500}} redirects to this template]</span>, '''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 {{tl|Short description}} template.
:* For example, {{tl|Annotated link}} searches for the template in its uppercase "Short description" and lowercase form "short description".

'''Do not''' start the template with a space: {{code|<nowiki> {{ Short description...</nowiki>}}. While this does create a valid short description, the space will prevent searches for the {{code|<nowiki>{{Short description...</nowiki>}} text.
