This is a documentation subpage for Template:Short description/lowercasecheck.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is intended for use inside {{Short description}}. It checks to see if an article's short description starts with a lower-case letter. If it does, then it checks the first word against a whitelist of permitted lower-case words like "c.", "iMac", and "none". If the first word is not on the whitelist, Category:Pages with lower-case short description is applied to the article on which the lower-case short description exists.

Usage[edit source]

This template should not be used directly in articles. It should be transcluded only in {{Short description}}.
