This script gives a Show SDs button at the top of the list of pages in a category. On clicking, short descriptions of all pages in view are displayed.

Colour codes:

  • black - local short description
  • pink - wikidata description
  • red ("no shortdesc") - no shortdesc present locally or on wikidata.

To tweak the color codes to your liking, see #Customisation below.

Installation

[edit]

If you have the script-installer gadget, just click on the "Install" button in the infobox.

Otherwise, add the line

importScript('User:SD0001/shortdescs-in-category.js'); // [[User:SD0001/shortdescs-in-category.js]]

on your common.js or skin.js page.

Usage

[edit]

If the category contains talk pages (such as in WikiProject classification categories), the short description of the article is shown (not that of the talk page).

Customisation

[edit]

Customisations can be done by adding statements to your common.css page.

  • Hide display of the red "– no shortdesc" (for pages that have no description)
.cat-shortdesc-none { display: none; }
  • Change the colors:
.cat-shortdesc-none { color: red !important; }
.cat-shortdesc-local { color: black !important; }
.cat-shortdesc-wikidata { color: MediumVioletRed !important; }
The default colors are the ones mentioned above. You can also specify colors like rgb(255, 99, 71) and #ff6347. You may find W3C CSS Colors helpful.
