Template talk:Infobox television/Short description

Template-protected edit request on 23 February 2023
Replace the Americanism "program" with the universally accepted "show." As I found out today, if a British series/show article doesn't have a short description, it will automatically display this. Danstarr69 (talk) 15:28, 23 February 2023 (UTC)
 * ❌ as this will cascade and before we get in to an WP:ENGVAR discussion this should be more broadly discussed. Please invite attendees from Template talk:Infobox television to review this first. If after a reasonable time there are no participants, reactivate the edit request. — xaosflux  Talk 16:57, 23 February 2023 (UTC)

Line-break problem
A linebreak is sometimes showing up within the short desc somehow. If you have diplay of short desc turned on with user CSS, you can see this at Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome, where the short desc renders as:

[Short description: American TV series or program ]

 * Perhaps I don't have my user settings set to see this issue, but it looks fine for me on Vector 2010 skin plus when I search for the article on the mobile site. - Favre1fan93 (talk) 23:32, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
 * , I adjusted some html comments to see if that fixes the white space. I ran infobox television through Expand Templates for that page, and I didn't see any extra line breaks. Is it fixed for you? If not, how are you seeing this extra line break? – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:51, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Yep, that fixed it, thanks. For seeing short desc., see near the top of User:SMcCandlish/common.css. I recommend doing this for any/all editors, since you'd be surprised how often these normally unseen lines need editing.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  17:41, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

Description of suggested change: Add "is Infobox in lead" template to the short description generator in order to prevent false positives for articles such as Call It Courage. -1ctinus📝 🗨  14:07, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
