Usage

This template is used to define a short description for the current page. The description is typically:

• brief – usually fewer than 40 characters;
• neutral and descriptive;
• supplementary to the article title, not simply a repeat of it.

Short descriptions are mainly consumed by tools and skins (for example, mobile views and search interfaces) and are not always shown in the normal desktop view.

Basic usage

To add a short description to a page:

{{Short description|Encyclopedia of free educational textbooks}}

This stores the description Encyclopedia of free educational textbooks for the current page.

Preventing replacement

If a description is already supplied (for example, from a higher level template) and you want to make sure that a local call does not overwrite it, use the noreplace parameter:

{{Short description|Free-content textbook project|noreplace=yes}}

In this case, if a short description has already been set elsewhere on the page, this call will be ignored.

Specifying a page type

You may optionally supply a page type. This can be helpful for tools that group or filter pages:

{{Short description|Open-content textbook collection|pagetype=project}}

or

{{Short description|Polynomial invariant measuring multiple roots|pagetype=mathematics}}

Notes

• The short description should normally be in sentence case, without a final period:

 
Correct: Online free-content textbook collection  
 Avoid: online FREE-CONTENT TEXTBOOK COLLECTION.

• Avoid adding links, HTML tags or wikicode. The value is intended to be plain text.
• Do not add maintenance notes, talk-page comments or other discussion content to the short description.

Dunam

Dunam (also spelled dunum; Turkish: dönüm) is a unit of area used in several countries and regions that were historically influenced by the Ottoman Empire. In modern metric usage in places such as Israel, Palestine, and Turkey, a dunam is commonly defined as exactly 1,000 square metres (i.e., one decare), which is one‑tenth of a hectare.

Definition

The metric dunam is:

• 1 dunam = 1,000 m²
• 10 dunams = 1 hectare (since 1 hectare = 10,000 m²)

In other words, the metric dunam corresponds to the decare (da).

History

Historically, the size of a dunam could vary by region and period within the Ottoman realm. Modern references describe a shift toward a standardized metric definition (1,000 m²) in many places where the term remains in use.

Usage

Dunam is commonly used to express:

• agricultural plot areas
• land registry / real estate plot sizes (depending on jurisdiction)
• everyday land measurement in rural contexts
