Forum:Wikia Name/Description?

Hi, just a quick question.

I was wondering if someone could tell me how the description after the Wikia's name is created. It is often displayed when something is searched for on Google or the Wikia's mainpage. For example, if I searched for Kratos, then the link is displayed like this in the search results: "Kratos - God of War Wiki - God of War 3, Kratos, Weapons, Bosses and more!". It has the name of the page, followed by the name of the Wiki, followed by a short description. I would like to know how to create this short description for my Wikia. Any help is appreciated.

It at - MediaWiki:Pagetitle on each wiki i.e for community central see - MediaWiki:Pagetitle

You need to be an adim to change it (on the wiki it is on) and remember it shows on all pages on the browser header & will last in search engine results for a (very) long time, so chose the text with care. - BulldozerD11 11:32, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

I've managed to create one and it displays in the browser heading, but not in search engine results. Any ideas?

There is also MediaWiki:Pagetitle-view-mainpage which is only for the main page. And MediaWiki:About, MediaWiki:Aboutsite, and MediaWiki:Description, one or more of which might have to do with search engine results.--Sxerks 13:20, June 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * It could also be that google may take a while to get round to those pages and index them again with the new title Random Time  14:08, June 18, 2010 (UTC)
