Adithyak1997 added a comment to T204136: Enable the {{SHORTDESC}} magic word on the Malayalam Wikipedia.

What I need is, I would like to remove the sentence ഫലകം:SHORTDESC: from https://ml.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%B4%AB%E0%B4%B2%E0%B4%95%E0%B4%82:SHORTDESC template which can be seen on top of the page below the heading of the article ie. below ഫലകം:SHORTDESC

@DannyH and @Lydia_Pintscher . I would like to ask two questions to you both since you both have commented against the use of the magic word on malayalam wikipedia. My first question is: if English wikipedia can use a feature , then why can't it be used in other wikipedias? According to what I think, all the wikipedias are equal and needs to be developed equally. It is the duty of each and every wikipedian to make their wikipedia move forward and attain its objectives (or targets). In such a case, why do you block our wikipedia from enhancing to upper levels? My second question is: Malayalam wikipedia, as understood by me is that there are very less members i think a maximum of 2 or 3 who actually knows to edit and correct template errors(the same in the case of template creation also). There are thousands of templates required in malayalam wikipedia which, only through the help of english wikipedia can be created or worked correctly. In such a scenario, how do you think can our wikipedia become better without the help of these helpful features? I would just like to mention a statistic. Out of the 1422 templates needed as per Wanted templates in malayalam wikipedia(from special pages), 1199 are only due to this magic word problem.

The actual problem is: almost 70 to 80% of the templates of english are converted into malayalam as it is because only one or two are actually knowing how to create a template. When the template SHORTDESC was imported in the same way, it showed an error to create a template named SHORTDESC: which was not found in english wikipedia. When I consulted in English wikipedia, the result was: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)#Template_doubt this.
