There are almost 2000 articles that start with "History of" that don't have a short description. I believe that it applies for WP:SDNONE (which is horribly vague in my opinion). If I get the greenlight from another editor without disapproval, I will script it to add descriptions to it semi-automatically. -1ctinus📝 🗨 19:39, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
I have made a short description generator for infobox musical and I just want some extra eyes on it before I add it to the template.

Searching -hastemplate:"Short description" hastemplate:"Good article" isn't returning anything for me, do we cross it off the project tasks checklist? Orchastrattor ( talk) 02:24, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi short description experts, if you're interested some Italian foods are without short description (e.g., gelo di melone). JacktheBrown ( talk) 20:35, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
It appears that articles can be simultaneously placed in both the Short description matches Wikidata category and the seemingly inconsistent category Short description is different from Wikidata. For example, see UEFA Europa Conference League and 2024–25_CONCACAF_Nations_League. Can this phenomenon be investigated to help determine if there is an appropriate way to fix it? Thank you.

incategory:"Short description matches Wikidata" AND incategory:"Short description is different from Wikidata" AND hastemplate:"Infobox film"
and found a few results, but upon closer inspection it seems that none of these are caused by Infobox film itself. Guess the fix works then, though I don't know if it would be worth the effort making this standard for all automatic sdescs.

tags), like the two I mentioned above. This short description doesn't appear inside the wikitext of the target page (because the template is
transcluded), and it gets overridden when an explicit instance of
Template:Short description is added to the target page (due to its noreplace parameter). See
Wikipedia:WikiProject Short descriptions#Auto-generated and bot-generated descriptions for more info. These manual short descriptions aren't necessarily "errant"; in cases where the automatic short description isn't ideal, it is recommended to manually override them.

Just wanted to report that I've been shortening or otherwise changing short descriptions that match common mistakes, using a quarry script. [1] I know other methods of searching are available but I've found a nice workflow this way. I can turn on one or two filters to get a bit of variety with the type of problem being corrected.
So far I've managed to prune down all the SDs over 100 characters and nearly all those of exactly 100 characters. Counting all the SDs in excess of 60 characters, there's over 100 thousand such articles that may need attention. It's steady work :) Wizmut ( talk) 19:25, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
I am working on a proposal for creating a short description of Template:Infobox book in the template's talk page. Any constructive help to improve the proposal would be greatly appreciated. -1ctinus📝 🗨 00:57, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
Greetings, Asking if anyone here can check article Patil_(Koli_title) that has 2 short descriptions. I'm not sure if that is Okay? Regards, JoeNMLC ( talk) 15:13, 15 June 2024 (UTC)
