==Usage==
Used in lists to provide an annotated link using the [[ Wikipedia:Short_description |short description]] from the linked page for annotation. Useful for disambiguation and providing an idea of what the link is about, without having to hover on the link. The link may be piped to adjust appearance. An abbreviation/acronym/initialism may be included as an optional parameter, and an alias as another optional parameter. The annotation follows a spaced ndash.

If a {{tlx|Short description}} template exists in the targeted article, but is empty, or contains a space, non-breaking space, the word <code>blank</code>, <code>none</code>, <code>null</code>, or other indication that a short description is not appropriate or needed, the output should be an un-annotated link. If it is not, list such cases on the talk page for attention, or fix it if you can. The handling of short descriptions is changing, so this template may '''not''' take default short descriptions from Wikidata. The short description will be blank where an article lacks a {{tlx|Short description}} template.

The template should not be used for annotating links on disambiguation pages. The relevant discussion is at [[Wikipedia_talk:Disambiguation/Archive_50#Use_of_annotated_links|Wikipedia talk:Disambiguation § Use of annotated links]] and concludes:
