Line 87:
=== desc_first_letter_case ===
Short descriptions on en Wikipedia [[WP:SDFORMAT|should be formatted]] with an uppercase first letter, but the typical application of this module will require the first character to be lowercase. By default; this module will ensure all the short descriptions retrieved by Module:GetShortDescription are transformed to start with a lowercase first letter, but this may be overridden if required using {{para|desc_first_letter_case|upper}} or {{para|desc_first_letter_case|lower}}.
=== prefix_parentheses ===
Sometimes date ranges in short descriptions are included in a suffixed parenthetical, per [[WP:SDDATES]] e.g. for [[Jimmy Wales]]: "Co-founder of Wikipedia (born 1966)".
However when listing people in disambiguation pages per [[MOS:DABPEOPLE]], birth and death dates in parentheticals should precede the comma, as in "[[Jimmy Wales]] (born 1966), co-founder of Wikipedia".
If the optional parameter {{para|prefix_parentheses|y}} is provided, this behavior will be performed, so any suffixed parenthetical text will be moved to before the dash (or comma) separator.
