Categoria:Template senza TemplateData

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.

Not to be confused with LINE1.

For other uses, see Sports statistics (disambiguation).

Line 1 (syntax example) is a minimal demonstration line used to illustrate how inline HTML elements, such as the <span>...</span> tag, can be embedded inside wiki or HTML content to change styling, language attributes, or other metadata without breaking the surrounding text flow.

A common example of such a line is:

Line<span>1</span> Change <span lang="de">A</span>

In most rendering contexts, this will simply appear to the reader as:

Line1 Change A

Usage

Inline <span>...</span> elements are often used on HTML-based systems, including MediaWiki (the software behind Wikipedia), to apply styling or metadata to specific parts of a line. The example line

Line<span>1</span> Change <span lang="de">A</span>

contains two spans:

• A neutral span around the character "1", which could be used for styling (for example, via a CSS class).
• A span with a language attribute, lang="de", marking the letter "A" as German-language content.

The language attribute can influence:

• Screen reader pronunciation;
• Hyphenation rules;
• Spellchecking behavior, depending on the browser and tools being used.

Relation to wiki markup

While basic wiki markup is usually preferred for formatting text (such as italic or bold), inline HTML can be used in cases where wiki syntax does not provide fine-grained control. For example:

• Marking a single character as a different language;
• Applying a CSS class for advanced layout in templates;
• Wrapping small pieces of text for JavaScript hooks.

The example line can appear inside templates, infoboxes, or tables without affecting surrounding lines or paragraphs, which is why a compact form such as "Line 1 Change A" is often used in documentation.

Accessibility considerations

Correct use of the lang attribute, as seen in the fragment <span lang="de">A</span>, is recommended by accessibility guidelines such as Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). It helps assistive technologies:

• Announce the right language;
• Switch pronunciation rules;
• Provide more accurate support for users with screen readers.

Editors are generally encouraged to:

• Use language tags on short phrases, proper names, and quotations in a foreign language;
• Avoid unnecessary inline HTML where standard wiki markup is sufficient.
