Summary by Xaosflux

The shortdesc parser function used on some WMF projects is not from this extension.

@Alistair3149: does GETSHORTDESC work? It doesn't seem to be an available hook even when SHORTDESC is?

@Alistair3149 Hmm, are projects like testwiki and enwiki that allow for the 'shortdesc' parser magic word not really using this entire extension - and that's why getshortdesc doesn't work?

They are not using this extension. On WMF wikis the functionality is provided by Wikibase
