Usage

{{#invoke:GetShortDescription|main |name= |only= |prefer= |fallback= |lang_italic= |lang_nocat= |lang_size= |lang_cat= |lang_rtl= |lang_no= }}

name

By providing only the required page name (including namespace), the module will look for an explicit {{short description}} in that page, but if not found, will try to fetch the wikidata description. If neither are found, the result will be an empty string.

If the result is a wikidata description, and it is declared (at the source) as being of a foreign language (i.e. not en), the result will be appropriately formatted by Module:Lang (the module powering {{lang}}), in accordance with MOS:OTHERLANG; see #Foreign language wikidata descriptions (below).

Markup: {{#invoke:GetShortDescription|main |name=Example }}

Result: table

This is equivalent to stating |prefer=explicit; see #prefer (below).

only

Providing a value for |only= will limit the search to being only for the stated description. If no description is found, the result will be an empty string, unless a fallback is provided; see #fallback (below).

explicit

Markup: {{#invoke:GetShortDescription|main |name=Example |only=explicit }}

Result:

wikidata

Markup: {{#invoke:GetShortDescription|main |name=Example |only=wikidata }}

Result: table

prefer

Providing a value for |prefer= will initiate the search for the stated description, but try for the alternative if none is found. If no description is found, the result will be an empty string, unless a fallback is provided; see #fallback (below).

explicit or wikidata

Markup: {{#invoke:GetShortDescription|main |name=Example |prefer=explicit }}

Result: table

wikidata or explicit

Markup: {{#invoke:GetShortDescription|main |name=Example |prefer=wikidata }}

Result: table

fallback

If a value for |fallback= is provided, and no description is found by the expressed route, the result will be the stated fallback.

only or fallback

Markup: {{#invoke:GetShortDescription|main |name=Example |only=explicit |fallback=This is a fallback }}

Result:

prefer or fallback

Markup: {{#invoke:GetShortDescription|main |name=Example |prefer=wikidata |fallback=This is a fallback }}

Result: table

Foreign language wikidata descriptions

Should a wikidata description be retrieved, which is declared (at the source) as being of a foreign language (i.e. not en), per MOS:OTHERLANG, the return will be formatted as appropriate by Module:Lang by default. This may be disabled with |lang_no=yes or adjusted via the parameters for {{lang}}: |lang_italic=, |lang_nocat=, |lang_size=, |lang_cat= and |lang_rtl=; see lang's documentation for details.
