Line 22:
By providing only the '''required''' page name (including namespace), the module will use [[Module:GetShortDescription]] to look for an explicit {{tlx|short description}} in that page, but if not found, will try to fetch the wikidata description. This is equivalent to stating {{para|prefer|explicit}}; see [[#prefer]] (below). If a description is found, it will be appended to a link created for the named page in the style expected for the likes of [[MOS:SEEALSO]]. If no description is found, the link will be created but no extra information will be appended – unless the extensive following parameters are employed.
Any foreign language (i.e. not ''en'') text supplied to this module or retrieved by Module:GetShortDescription may be appropriately formatted, in accordance with [[MOS:OTHERLANG]], via the parameters for [[Module:Lang]]; see [[#Foreign language text]] (below).
As this module is responsible for the use of all features of Module:GetShortDescription; all the parameters for that module are available through this module; see [[#Module:GetShortDescription parameters]] (below).
Line 88:
=== Foreign language text ===
Module:GetShortDescription may return a foreign language (i.e. not ''en'') wikidata description; editor discretion determines if that should be displayed. If it is displayed; it will be in accordance with [[MOS:OTHERLANG]], by [[Module:Lang]] (the module powering {{tlx|lang}}). The appropriate language code will be set automatically, but all other parameters of {{tlc|lang}} are available to affect the formatting of the returned description:
Use {{para|lang_italic}}, {{para|lang_nocat}}, {{para|lang_size}}, {{para|lang_cat}} and {{para|lang_rtl}}; see [[Template:Lang/doc|lang's documentation]] for details.
