| 40x40px | This template adds an automatically generated short description. |
Template:Auto short description should be placed on doc pages of templates which automatically generate short description for pages transcluding them.
Pages tagged with this template are categorized in Category:Templates that generate short descriptions.
For meta-templates that are used to create a family of templates, add a |category= value to define an alternative category.
For example: {{Auto short description|category=chemical elements}} will categorize the templates in Category:Templates that generate short descriptions for chemical elements.
Examples
{{Auto short description|sometimes=yes}} – for templates that only generate short descriptions under particular conditions
{{Auto short description|conditions=when it is used in Wikipedia space}} – when an explanation is desired for the conditions under which a short description is generated, e.g. when the short description template is wrapped with {{Namespace detect}}
{{Auto short description|category=specific type}} – for meta-templates that generate short descriptions for a family of templates
| The above documentation is transcluded from Template:Auto short description/doc. (edit | history) Editors can experiment in this template's sandbox (edit | diff) and testcases (edit) pages. Please add categories to the /doc subpage. Subpages of this template. |
