This template is used on many pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.
This template adds an automatically generated short descriptionTɛmplet:Spacewhen the infobox is in the lead. If the automatic short description is not optimal, replace it by adding {{Short description}} at the top of the article.
The infobox may be added by pasting the template as shown below into an article. All fields are optional and unused parameter names can be left blank or omitted.
