Line 7:
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:Wikipedia_talk:Disambiguation/Archive_50#Use_of_annotated_links|Wikipedia talk:Disambiguation § Use of annotated links]] and concludes:
*They contain formatting that is not in line with the long-established formatting for disambiguation entries at [[Wikipedia:MOS:DAB]].
*The text of the descriptions is frequently not optimal for disambiguation pages, as it may be neither distinguishing nor succinct.
*They would remove control of the text from the disambiguation page itself, and allow disambiguation pages to be modified without appearing in the edit history of the page itself, or in notifications relating to the page. (This reason is not fixable, and is sufficient reason not to use the template or any modification thereof.)
