T331272 introduced machine-generated short descriptions, some of which are improper. These include "Wikipedia list article" and "Wikimedia list article", as seen being added here, here, here, and here. This contradicts this guideline, where "none" should be the short description in such cases. It would be ideal if this tool didn't suggest changing short descriptions with an exiting description of "none" in the first place, and not suggesting these descriptions in other cases.

This is related to (and possibly duplicate of) T326898, whereby we're currently offering the option to "Add an article description", even when the article already has a description set to none, which implies that the editors don't want a description for that article.
The problem is that there's currently no structured way for us to know (via API) whether an article with no description actually needs a description added, or already has a description of none. (Both cases appear to us as an "empty" description over the API.)

Good to know. Nonetheless, "Wikipedia list article"/"Wikimedia list article" shouldn't be recommended as a new short description (separate issue from T326898).

I think we did get agreement on a reasonable way forward for T326898, it's just been blocked on my having spare capacity to implement the path forward. If someone wants to take up that work I'd love to share more details on what needs to be done.

Closing as duplicate of T326898, since the proper solution is being discussed there, and we'll soon be removing (this iteration of) the experimental feature of machine-generated suggestions.
