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)[reply]

I just realized that VAs for each level are linked from Wikipedia: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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

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
