[https://petscan.wmflabs.org/?psid=16282517 This] PetScan query finds all vital articles that don't have a native short description. (may take a while to load) Ionmars10 (talk) 13:28, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

: I just realized that VAs for each level are linked from Wikipedia:Vital articles and its subpages, so here are queries that restrict the search to [https://petscan.wmflabs.org/?psid=16574970 level 3] and [https://petscan.wmflabs.org/?psid=16575011 level 4] respectively. Ionmars10 (talk) 20:53, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

::I'm adding an alternate link here which people might find useful to use in conjunction with the ones posted above. This [https://petscan.wmflabs.org/?psid=17813132 level 4 list] is the same as the one posted above, but it filters out pages that already include the short description template. YuriNikolai (talk) 01:46, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

:::In the same vein as the above post, [https://petscan.wmflabs.org/?psid=18619045 here's another useful link] - doing the same as the above link, but for Level 5 vital articles. ExcellentWheatFarmer (talk) 11:35, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

:::: If anyone would like to help out, there are now only 1878 level 5 articles to go according to [https://petscan.wmflabs.org/?psid=18619045 this search]. MichaelMaggs (talk) 16:05, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
