Module:SDcat/doc explained

Module to check whether local short description matches that on Wikidata

setCat has the qid of a Wikidata entity passed as |qid=(it defaults to the associated qid of the current article if omitted)and the local short description passed as |sd=It returns a category if there is an associated Wikidata entity.

It returns one of the following tracking categories, as appropriate:

• Category:Short description matches Wikidata (case-insensitive)
• Category:Short description is different from Wikidata
• Category:Short description with empty Wikidata description

For testing purposes, a link prefix |lp= may be set to ":" to make the categories visible.
