This template is used to provide a brief summary of an article's content in a concise manner. It is typically placed at the beginning of an article to give readers a quick overview of the topic.
-->{{#invoke:Check for unknown parameters|check|unknown={{Main other|[[Category:Pages using short description with unknown parameters|_VALUE_{{PAGENAME}}]]}}|preview=Page using [[Template:Short description]] with unknown parameter "_VALUE_"|ignoreblank=y| 1 | 2 | pagetype | bot |plural }}<!--
 
-->{{#ifexpr: {{#invoke:String|len|{{{1|}}}}}>100 | [[Category:{{{pagetype|{{pagetype |defaultns = extended |plural=y}}}}} with long short description]]}}<!--
== Usage ==
--><includeonly>{{#if:{{{1|}}}||[[Category:Pages with empty short description]]}}</includeonly><!--
The template is inserted at the top of an article page and is formatted as follows:
-->{{Short description/lowercasecheck|{{{1|}}}}}<!--
 
-->{{Main other |{{SDcat |sd={{{1|}}} }} }}<noinclude>
{{Short description|Your concise description here.}}
