Wiki articles need ~~160-200~~ character summaries so that they can be shown ~~as alerts~~ to users~~. Let's say a~~ wiki ~~user is on a website where product X is being sold that screws them over~~. ~~We will have a browser plugin that pops up an alert with a summary on how that product screws over~~ the ~~customer~~.

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.

This means the wiki articles have ~~to have a 160-200 character summary~~, but many do not! We need people to edit the articles below to add ~~a 160 character~~ summary to them in the appropriate area so that the page will have that short description come up when queried by a browser plugin or ~~something~~ else that is looking up companies/products in the wiki. We've put this 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. We've put this project page together to try and make it easier to track down and identify articles in need of metadata updates.

===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.
