~~Wiki articles need their metadata to be filled out, including <150 character summaries so that they can be used for search result text, and shown to users of~~ the ~~planned wiki browser extension~~. ~~The general~~ data ~~helps us search~~ for ~~the page, and the short description can be shown to~~ users.

Articles on this wiki contain structured data about the article's topic which is stored in a Cargo template. This data is being prepared for a browser extension that will notify users about a company's past incidents while they are shopping online. On some pages this data shows up in a box alongside the article, but on Incident pages, it is invisible. We need editors to contribute to this data by filling in missing data points and adding Cargo templates to old pages that do not have them. We've put this project page together to try and make it easier to track down and identify articles in need of metadata updates.

~~This means~~ the ~~wiki articles have their Cargo tables (explained below) filled out~~, but ~~many do not!~~ We need ~~people~~ to ~~edit the articles below~~ to ~~add the summary and any other~~ missing data to ~~them in the appropriate area so~~ that ~~the page will~~ have ~~that short description come up when queried by a browser plugin or anything else that is looking up companies/products in the wiki~~.

===What are Cargo tables?===

Cargo tables are data structures used on the Consumer Rights Wiki for storing info about articles. These can be used to create queries on the wiki (like the ones generating the tables you see below) as well as accessed via the wiki's API by things like the consumerrights.wiki browser extension project.

*Pages about specific product lines ([[Template:ProductLineCargo|template]])

~~It is also quite likely that~~ pages ~~will exist on~~ the ~~Wiki that should have a Cargo table~~, but ~~do not have one~~.

There are pages without Cargo. Some pages are using the deprecated Infobox data structures, which can be searched for and replaced:

* [https://consumerrights.wiki/w/Special:WhatLinksHere/?target=Template%3A:InfoboxCompany%namespace=%limit=50] Companies] - done, but still referenced on internal pages

* [https://consumerrights.wiki/w/Special:WhatLinksHere?target=Template%3AInfoboxProductLine&namespace=&limit=50 Product lines] - unfinished

~~A good number of~~ pages ~~which should~~ have ~~cargo tables but don't are currently using~~ the ~~deprecated~~ [[~~Template~~:~~InfoboxCompany~~|~~InfoboxCompany template~~]]~~. A list of such articles can be found here: https://consumerrights.wiki/w/~~Special:~~WhatLinksHere/Template:InfoboxCompany which should serve as as a good starting point for looking for articles that don't have~~ the ~~relevant cargo table~~.

Other pages do not have Cargo or Infoboxes and must be found by searching through the wiki in places like [[Special:AncientPages]|ancient pages]] or [[Special:FewestRevisions|fewest revisions]], or may be stumbled across while doing other work on the wiki like copyediting or adding categories.

'''TL;DR - We want to look for empty boxes in the tables below, and fill them in'''
