A Description question page simply shows some text (and possibly graphics) without requiring an answer. It is more of a label than a question type.

Note that these questions are not really questions so they are ignored when adding random questions from a category: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=324179

TIP: When shuffling questions is turned off, this type of page can provide information to be used by a following group of questions.
