Wikivoyage:RDF Expedition/Description

It can sometimes help automated processes to have a description of a page. We can show these descriptions in, say, the "description" meta tag for an HTML page, or in other metadata for other media.

Representation edit

The Dublin Core "description" element clearly fits the bill here.

Examples edit

For Toronto, we might have:

 <> dc:description "A travel guide to Toronto, Canada's largest city, including hotels, restaurants, and neighborhoods." .
 

Templates edit

The Template:Description can be used to add a description.

{{description|A travel guide to Toronto, Canada's largest city, including hotels, restaurants, and neighborhoods.}}

Other notes edit

  • If no description element is used, a stock description based on the template at MediaWiki:travelguidedescription is used. If the article isn't a travel guide, the first text paragraph from an article is used as the HTML description.
