Template:Template short description/doc

Template:Template short description is used to create templated short description. It performs extra checks to avoid undesirable short descriptions from being added by templates and if the following conditions are satisfied it will add the first unnamed parameter as a short description:
 * There is no Short description template on the page
 * The description is at or below a certain length (default 40 per WP:SDFORMAT, adjustable with max_length if determined necessary. It is often preferable to attempt shortening the descriptions if this is a major issue.)
 * If the template is an infobox it can also check if the infobox is in the lead. If no pattern is given this condition is ignored. It does not handle redirects.
