Vital articles
This PetScan query finds all vital articles that don't have a native short description. (may take a while to load) Ionmars10 (talk) 13:28, 20 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I just realized that VAs for each level are linked from Vital articles and its subpages, so here are queries that restrict the search to level 3 and level 4 respectively. Ionmars10 (talk) 20:53, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm adding an alternate link here which people might find useful to use in conjunction with the ones posted above. This level 4 list is the same as the one posted above, but it filters out pages that already include the short description template. YuriNikolai (talk) 01:46, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
 * In the same vein as the above post, here's another useful link - doing the same as the above link, but for Level 5 vital articles. ExcellentWheatFarmer (talk) 11:35, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
 * If anyone would like to help out, there are now only 1878 level 5 articles to go according to this search. MichaelMaggs (talk) 16:05, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
 * As TODO lists, I have created indexes to all of these articles which show any existing Short descriptions. See: • 0–9, A–F ⇒ User:GhostInTheMachine/SD • G–M ⇒ User:GhostInTheMachine/SD2 • N–Z ⇒ User:GhostInTheMachine/SD3 — GhostInTheMachine talk to me 17:48, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
