Forum:Summary text in a Google search

I have just started looking at SEO for the Vim Tips wiki (Vim is a text editor).

Our pages start with a single line generated by a template. Problem: A Google search shows that line as an extract from the page in search results, and it's unfortunately meaningless.

Is there any way I can tell Google to skip that line?

Here is an example showing the ugly problem from a search (which finds this page):
 * The super star - Vim Tips Wiki
 * Tip 1 Next created&amp;nbsp;February 24, 2001&amp;#32;&amp;middot; complexity&amp;nbsp;basic&amp;#32;&amp;middot; author&amp;nbsp;Scott+Yegappan&amp;#32;&amp;middot; version&amp;nbsp;5.7.
 * vim.wikia.com/wiki/The_super_star - Cached - Similar -

There are some reasons why I would like to keep that line at the top of the page (not the bottom).

BTW I will implement what I understand from Forum:Primer in search engine optimization.

 * Hmmm. I've just realised that the above is probably due to MediaWikia putting the first line of the article into the hmtl at "...":

 * So I probably need to contact Wikia to find out if the "description" can be influenced. JohnBeckett 08:02, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
