Editing Template:Short description/doc (section)

== Testing ==
For testing purposes, the display of this template can be enabled by adding a line to your [[Special:MyPage/common.css]]:
* <syntaxhighlight lang="CSS" inline>.shortdescription { display:block !important; }</syntaxhighlight>
This can be easily removed or disabled when testing is finished.

If you want to {{em|always}} see short descriptions, you may prefer a more utilitarian layout, such as:

<syntaxhighlight lang="CSS">
.shortdescription {
  display:block !important;
  white-space: pre-wrap;
}
.shortdescription::before { 
  content: "\A[Short description:\0020";
}
.shortdescription::after { 
  content: "]\A";
}
</syntaxhighlight>
There is a test version of this template available as [[Template:Short description/test]] which displays its text by default.
* {{tld|Short description/test}} displays the short description if supplied
* {{tld|Short description/test}} displays nothing if <code>none</code> is supplied
* {{tld|Short description/test}} displays the description from Wikidata if <code>wikidata</code> is supplied.

Taking {{Q|Q1096878}} as an example:
* <code><nowiki>{{short description/test|Underwater diving where breathing is from equipment independent of the surface}}</nowiki></code> → {{short description/test|Underwater diving where breathing is from equipment independent of the surface }}
* <code><nowiki>{{short description/test|none}}</nowiki></code> → {{short description/test|none}}
* <code><nowiki>{{short description/test|wikidata}}</nowiki></code> → {{short description/test|wikidata|qid=Q1096878}}

===Pagetype parameter===
If {{param|Pagetype}} is '''not''' set, then this template adds the article to a category based on the namespace:
* {{clc|Articles with short description}}
* {{clc|Redirects with short description}} {{--}} for redirects in any namespace

If {{param|Pagetype}} '''is''' set, then this template adds the article to a category matching the parameter. For example:
* {{cl|Redirects with short description}} {{--}} {{code|pagetype {{=}} Redirect }}
