Template talk:Auto short description

Sub-cat?
When an infobox is a wrapper for another infobox, and the inner one sets the short description, then the inner template should be listed in. Sadly, all of the wrapper templates get listed instead. In the case of the element templates, this adds more than all of the other "real" templates and we see way too many templates listed there.

Could we add a parameter to Auto short description so that Infobox element/doc can use to file each of the element templates in  instead? — GhostInTheMachine talk to me 17:42, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Adding a hardcoded category for a specific group is not something I'd like see. A cat parameter can be added which will add the value in cat instead of the default category. --Gonnym (talk) 19:11, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
 * To keep the category names consistent, I had intended that the new parameter string would be appended to the current category name. So yes - I suspect that would be clearer. This would lead to adding  or maybe . (Having category as the full category name instead might be the more normal way.) — GhostInTheMachine talk to me 21:37, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Both of the above could work. Let me know which one you'd like. --Gonnym (talk) 23:41, 30 August 2020 (UTC)
