Automatic, Supervised, or Manual: automatic
Programming language(s): AWB
Source code available:
Function overview: Replaces the short descriptions "Wikimedia list article" and "Wikipedia list article" with none
Links to relevant discussions (where appropriate): Wikipedia talk:Short description#"Wikimedia list article"
Edit period(s): One time run
Estimated number of pages affected: Around 75,000
Exclusion compliant (Yes/No): Yes
Already has a bot flag (Yes/No): Yes
Function details: It's all discussed at Wikipedia talk:Short description#"Wikimedia list article". TLDR: There's a consensus that "Wikimedia list article" and "Wikipedia list article" are undesirable short descriptions and that no short description is necessary for most lists and a bot is the way to implement it. This bot is about as simple as they get and a trial would be a bit silly, but I can do it if so desired.
{{short description|none}}
which prevents shortdesc helper from importing the description and hopefully it won't suggest it at all even when it isn't present soon. Could you go to the above discussion and express your opinion there? I will put the bot on hold for a bit. --
