<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{Shortcut|SC:SHORTDES|SC:SHORTDESC}}<br /> <br /> A &#039;&#039;&#039;short description&#039;&#039;&#039; is a concise explanation of the scope of the page. We use descriptions in search suggestion, below each article title, and possibly by any community tools that uses our [[SC:API|API]].<br /> <br /> [[File:Short description search suggestion.png|thumb|200px|Short description in search suggestion]]<br /> [[File:Short description article.png|thumb|200px|Short description as a subheading below the article title]]<br /> <br /> == Criteria ==<br /> Here&#039;s a few brief rules:<br /> * Be as brief as possible, preferably less than 40 characters.<br /> * Focus on distinguishing the subject from similar ones rather than precisely defining it.<br /> * Should be easy to read as it will be the first point of contact for many readers.<br /> * Most important identifying information should be placed first.<br /> * Should not be a full sentence unless absolutely necessary.<br /> * Should be written as though it follows the title.<br /> * Avoid duplicating information already in the title.<br /> * No wikilinks, plain text only.<br /> * Is not required to provide an adequate definition of the article subject.<br /> * WikiProjects may find it useful to suggest standard formats which may be applicable to categories of articles.<br /> * Avoid anything that is, or could reasonably be construed as, controversial or judgemental. Use universally accepted facts wherever possible.<br /> * Use sentence case, starting with a capital letter. It is technically problematic to have to convert case when there may be proper nouns in the text.<br /> <br /> For reference, please check {{WP|ref=no|Wikipedia:Short_description|text=WP:Short description}} on Wikipedia.<br /> <br /> == Editing ==<br /> Short description is easy to add and edit. Simply put a {{t|Short description}} template on the bottom of the page above the SEO template if it does not exist already. Note that some infobox templates generate a default short description, putting a short description template will override the generated one.<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Wikipedia:WP:SHORTDESC|Wikipedia:Short description]] on Wikipedia<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Wiki navplate}}<br /> {{SHORTDESC|Short description usage on the Tribes Wiki}}<br /> [[Category:Policies]]</div>
