I'd like to build a couple more sports categories. This is in recognition of the number of Olymipic games, and similar games out there. Often these games have a number of mini-games, allowing the person to play either just one sport or a wide range of sports. Decathalon, X-Games, California Games would also fall into these categories.

(Not sure why no Summer sports main category. California Games isn't exactly an Olympic game series, but its definitely "Summer sports")

I can't think of any packages that try to lump both seasons into a single game package. I'm sure such things are few and far between. Dawynn (talk) 15:03, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Main article: ZeniMax Media

Proposed new template: {{zenimax-stub}}

This would be a stub category for ZeniMax Media and its subsidiaries. This would help circumvent problems with underpopulated categories for the subsidiaries, also. Notably, templates for {{BethesdaSoftworks-stub}} and {{idSoftware-stub}} could be upmerged to this new template. I think between the three templates (two existing underpopulated, plus the new) there should be enough to justify the new parent category. Dawynn (talk) 02:03, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Looks like a good idea no problems here. Waacstats (talk) 08:41, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

I'd like to add two new upmerge templates to this category.

Note that templates already exists for Europe and Asia, as well as individual country templates for USA, UK and Japan. Dawynn (talk) 18:07, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Currently, the Category:Electronics stubs is a top-level stub category and is oversized. A good part of its contents can be up-merged to the parent Category:Electricity stubs, which does not exist yet, but would be a fine top-level category (or a subcat of Category:Physics stubs). I have already re-stubbed several of the misplaced electronics stubs: please take a look at {{Electric-stub}} and Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Electric-stub. Note that Electronics is just a subset of Electrical engineering, and that marking some articles with "electronics stub" template is rather illogical.

In the end of the day, the scheme should look like:

(Electronics stubs could be further catagorized by {{Consumer-electronics-stub}} but let's do it one step at at time). No such user (talk) 14:49, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

This seems a reasonable way to go about tidying up this area. Waacstats (talk) 08:48, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
IMHO, creating a category at this level is already justified. If we declare "Electronics" as a sub-category of "Electricity", then we already have the needed 60 articles by virtue of the subcategory. Dawynn (talk) 19:43, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

slightly oversized I propose the following splits

Don't think this will get it down to below 800 but would be a good start. Waacstats (talk) 12:28, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

There would be a good start to verify its existence firstly next time. Cyclostrematidae is a synonym. Others are OK. --Snek01 (talk) 20:04, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

to Waacstats: Also it is quite useless and misleading categorize such articles without knowledge about the theme. Taxonomy of them can, and in some cases often is changing quite often. Then recategorizing became necessary and categorizing of stubs make additional work. Next time categorize only those ones, that you are familiar with (if there are such gastropods). --Snek01 (talk) 22:26, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

another oversized category. propose the following genus' be split from the main stub cat

this should de oversize it. Waacstats (talk) 12:11, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

This over stubbed splitting is against the goal Wikipedia:WikiProject_Stub_sorting#Project_goals number five: "Ensure that any new stub categories and templates are reasonable, usable, and useful." All other criteria are OK, but there is not usefulness of this. But it is already done... Next time stub sorting of gastropods into families is enough. --Snek01 (talk) 20:13, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
