Editing Chabadpedia:Short description (section)

=== "none" as a short description ===
{{Shortcut|CB:SDNONE}}
{{see also|Chabadpedia:Short description#Examples}}
All articles should have a short description, but some article titles are sufficiently self-explanatory to English language speakers worldwide that a descriptive annotation would not be helpful. Such articles can be given the short description "none". 

A short description should never be the same as the article's title. If the [[#Purposes|primary purposes]] of a short description are entirely met by the title wording, that is a good indication that "none" would be appropriate.

The short description "none" should be used sparingly, and only where the entirety of the title will be reasonably clear to English-speaking readers worldwide. Bear in mind that readers outside your own country or culture may never have come across terms that to you are extremely well-known. Rather than using "none", try where you can to construct a short description that imparts useful information. 

A decision on whether to use "none" should always be based on the comprehensibility of the words used in the title, and not on the form of the title. Articles should be assessed on their own merits, and editors using semi-automated tools to write short descriptions must never assume that all articles with a title of a particular form (e.g., "List of ''x''") should be treated in the same way.

To use "none", add <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Short description|Short description]]<nowiki>|none}}</nowiki></code> at the top of the page; this ensures that the article appears in [[:Category:Articles with short description]]. Occasionally, a default value of "none" may already be transcluded by a template; that default should not normally need to be edited, but it can be overridden for a specific page by adding <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Short description|Short description]]|''Overriding description''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> at the top of the page.
