{{Documentation}}

==Usage==

This template adds a concise description of an article. Place it near the beginning of the page, normally immediately below <code><nowiki>{{DISPLAYTITLE:...}}</nowiki></code> when that template is used.

<pre>
{{Short description|Christian service performed in the name of Jesus Christ}}
</pre>

The description should:

* briefly identify the subject;
* normally remain under 160 characters;
* use sentence case;
* not end with a period;
* avoid promotional language;
* not duplicate the article title unnecessarily.

==Examples==

<pre>
{{Short description|Service offered to God and others in the name of Jesus Christ}}
</pre>

<pre>
{{Short description|Central religious text of Christianity}}
</pre>

<pre>
{{Short description|Christian practice of communicating with God}}
</pre>

The description is hidden in the main article display but remains available in the page markup for skins, extensions, search tools and other automated systems that recognize the <code>shortdescription</code> class.
