Bad description
SD that probably came from a Bot at some point.
 * Wikimedia list — — should all be set to "none"
 * Wikipedia list — — should all be set to "none"
 * Aspect of history — — should mostly be set to "none"

Wrong structure
Searches for bad template use


 * bare SHORTDESC magic word — Main page has SHORTDESC hardcoded, Dollar General has it as part of a reference URL in the infobox
 * template name has a leading space — caused issues with the helper, should all be fixed now — Search — {{code|insource:/\{\{ [Ss]hort description/}}
 * two (or more!) SD templates — should all be fixed
 * SD not first — bad MOS — lots of them — Search — {{code|insource:/\} *\{\{[Ss]hort description/}}
 * SD after a heading — worse case of SD not first — few hundred — Search — {{code|insource:/.*{{=}}{{=}}.*\{\{[Ss]hort description/}}
 * SD starting with a space — used to confuse the helper, now tolerated

Bad style

 * SD starting "A ..." — bad style — lots of them — {{button|{{code|insource:/\{\{[Sshort description\{{!}}A /}}}}]
 * SD starting "The ..." — bad style — lots of them — {{button|{{code|insource:/\{\{[Sshort description\{{!}}The /}}}}]
