This script gives a 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
editIf 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]]
Usage
editIf 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
editCustomisations 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
