One year after this article is posted, will every single article on Wikipedia have a short description?: What are they? Why are they important? How can we make them better? And what can you do to help?
Here's a short description. These are important on Wikipedia!
You can see short descriptions in grey beneath the article title. These descriptions, along with the thumbnail for the article, make it easier for the reader to understand what the article is covering.
Short descriptions are an important tool for readers, and we've come a long way since short descriptions were introduced. I think the community can meet our goal to make Wikipedia a more accessible resource!
