Lemma [r]: Add brief definition or description

This is a lemma article, containing just a definition and optionally other subpages (check), but no metadata. Create the metadata page if you want to expand this into a full article.
This documentation is transcluded from Template:Lemma/doc (edit | history)

Usage

This template is used by the {{Subpages}} template. It is added to pages that belong to a Lemma Cluster, i.e. a Cluster without Metadata. The main page of a Lemma Cluster is in the class of Lemma Article, and its Subpages in Lemma Subpage. These are pages that can exist independently of an article or metadata.

This template adds a blue banner to the top of the page, alerting readers to the fact that they are not in a normal Cluster, as well as providing links to create the Metadata that makes the difference. In addition, it provides appropriate links from Lemma Subpages to the Lemma main page and displays the corresponding 'Definition' and 'Related Articles' subpages, as well as a link to check whether there are any other associated subpages.
