  Does anyone know how to solve the problem of duplicate meta descriptions appearing when a category has multiple pages?
  
  For example:
  
  * Category: Telephones
  * Pages: 5 pages
  
  All 5 pages end up with the same meta description, titles and keywords. Only the content is changeable?

  I would **add custom fields to your category group**, for META Descriptions. This would allow you to display meta data when on a 'category home page'.
  
  Then on a single entry page, the entry-type custom fields for meta data would be used.
  
  See this example/answer: [How do I define an entry's META description?](https://craftcms.stackexchange.com/questions/13682/how-do-i-define-an-entrys-meta-description/13683#13683)
