Module to check whether local short description matches that on Wikidata

setCat has the qid of a Wikidata entity passed as |qid=
(it defaults to the associated qid of the current article if omitted)
and the local short description passed as |sd=
It returns a category if there is an associated Wikidata entity.

It returns one of the following tracking categories, as appropriate:
* Category:Short description matches Wikidata (case-insensitive)
* Category:Short description is different from Wikidata
* Category:Short description with empty Wikidata description
For testing purposes, a link prefix |lp= may be set to ":" to make the categories visible.

== Usage ==
; From within a template
: <code><nowiki>{{SDcat |sd={{{shortdescription|}}} }}</nowiki></code>
: or
: <code><nowiki>{{#invoke:SDcat |setCat |sd={{{shortdescription|}}} }}</nowiki></code>
[[Template:SDcat]] is a wrapper for this module.

; From another module
: <code>sdcat = require("Module:SDcat")._setCat</code>
: <code>local tracking_cat = sdcat(shortdesc, itemID)</code>

=== For testing ===
<code><nowiki>{{#invoke:SDcat |setCat |qid={{get QID|Douglas Adams}}|sd=English author and humorist (1952–2001) |lp=":"}}</nowiki></code>

A few examples of tests are at [[Module talk:SDcat]]
