Editing Chabadpedia:Short description (section)

== Why can't I see any short description? ==
By default, short descriptions are not displayed when viewing an article in desktop view. To make them visible on the page and to enable easy editing, enable [[Chabadpedia:Shortdesc helper|Shortdesc helper]] in your [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets|gadgets preferences]]. On the desktop platform, short descriptions appear below article titles in search result lists only if you are using the [[CB:Vector 2022|Vector 2022]] skin (the default desktop view as of February 2025). In Preferences | [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering|Appearance]], make sure the ''Vector 2022'' radio button is selected.

You can always see whether the page has a ''manual'' short description by opening it for source editing (not [[CB:VE|visual editing]]); you should find {{tnull|Short description}} right at the top. Unfortunately, its absence there does not necessarily mean there is no short description, as one may be ''transcluded'' from some template such as an infobox. That can't be determined from the page code (at least without following through to the template code pages), hence the recommendation to enable [[Chabadpedia:Shortdesc helper|Shortdesc helper]].

As mentioned above, please don't add a new short description ''solely'' on the basis that {{tnull|Short description}} is missing from the wikicode.
