Description

If there is no description defined for an article, current suggestions misleadingly duplicate them from the article before until there is an article with a defined description.

Screenshots of this problem are provided by Russian Wikipedia user Tolkodelo (and they are reproducing for me):

  1. No Russian description for any elements beside first: Turing test − Software testing (duplicated image) − Testosterone − Diagnosis of HIV/AIDS − Bechdel test (duplicated image)
    temp.jpg (650×1 px, 84 KB)
  2. No Russian description for one element: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2996321
    temp.jpg (650×1 px, 96 KB)
  3. No Russian description for three elements: Mars Science Laboratory − Sophie Marceau − Field of Mars (Saint Petersburg)
    temp.jpg (665×1 px, 102 KB)

This problem doesn’t reproduce in MobileFrontend (https://i.imgur.com/HeqCGBG.png), so maybe there’s a need to look up to that part.

Should’ve looked into it, seems to be same issue as T160749.

@stjn No worries! It's always better to file a task and find out there's a duplicate, rather than not file a task then find out that nobody else reported it. :-)
