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[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.
