Editing Chabadpedia:Short description (section)

=== "List of ''x''", "History of ''x''", "Flag of ''x''" and similar titles ===

[[Chabadpedia:Stand-alone lists|Stand-alone lists]] and articles with titles such as "History of ''x''", "Flag of ''x''", or similar should never be given the short description "none" purely because they are lists or have a title of a particular form. Instead, one should consider each article individually and try to create a short description that provides the reader with some useful information about ''x''. Only if the meaning of ''x'' itself is reasonably clear to English-speaking readers worldwide is the short description "none" appropriate.          

Articles with titles of these types will often benefit from a short description similar to the one used for the main article about ''x'' itself. For example, a good short description for [[List of Friends episodes|List of ''Friends'' episodes]] would be "Episodes of American television sitcom". It should not be "none", since the term "''Friends''" – no matter how well known to readers familiar with American TV – will not necessarily be clear to other English-speaking readers worldwide. The short description for the article ''[[Friends]]'' ("American television sitcom (1994–2004)") provides a useful guide to what is needed for the corresponding list.          

If there is little space, write a short description that covers ''x'' alone: it is not essential to repeat the words "List of" in the short description. You may not be able to gloss every term but do the best you can while keeping the description short.
