> Yeah I think this should be a core hook, not a skin hook. Yes it should be a core hook that is accessible by both skins and extensions. > Can you envision a wiki where the tagline is not a short description of the article but something different? By default the tagline is the content of `MediaWiki:Tagline`. Short description is exclusively used by wikis that is accompanied by Wikibase, which is mostly WMF wikis so most wikis either have it hidden or use a site tagline. There are also other usage for the tagline such as Minerva put registration date on the user pages. > Whether it makes sense to also have a hook in MobileFrontend to determine what the tagline should be (which would then invoke the core hook), or just hardcode it to always show the short description, I'm not sure. Last I checked MobileFrontend looks for the short description from Wikibase and set a global variable, and Minerva check if it exists, so the display is hardcoded into Minerva. > I'd avoid "tagline" which is more about where it is displayed than what it contains I use the term "tagline" as this task as it is just how it was referred in the task. Nevertheless I view this task as creating a core hook to set the generic tagline of a page rather than strictly short description, as there are other usages outside of article namespace and it can be useful for extensions and special pages. To be more specific, there should be: 1. Core hook that allows extensions to define the `description` property of the page, as it is how VE and the app retrieve the short description from a page 2. Description should feed into `SearchResultProvideDescriptionHook`, which is used by the MediaWIki Search REST API 3. A way for skin developer to display the description TASK DETAIL https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T225529 EMAIL PREFERENCES https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/settings/panel/emailpreferences/ To: alistair3149 Cc: Tgr, alistair3149, Ammarpad, Masumrezarock100, Jdlrobson, pmiazga, Aklapper, Invadibot, maantietaja, Akuckartz, Demian, darthmon_wmde, DannyS712, Nandana, lucamauri, Lahi, Gq86, GoranSMilovanovic, QZanden, LawExplorer, Winter, _jensen, rosalieper, Scott_WUaS, Izno, Wikidata-bugs, aude, Dinoguy1000, Addshore, Mbch331, Jay8g
