On this WikiProject Stub sorting subpage, you can propose new stub types (please read the procedures beforehand!), as well as the reorganization and subdivision of existing stub types. You can also discuss anything else related to stubs on the talk page.

Proposing new stub types – procedure

Important: If you wish to propose the creation of a stub ARTICLE you've come to the wrong place. If you don't have a username yourself, please go to WP:AFC for proposing a new article. If you already have a username, you can create the article yourself. If you don't know how, add {{Helpme}} to your user talk page to request help from other editors. This page only deals with stub TEMPLATES and CATEGORIES; we cannot help you with creating articles.

Proposing new stub types
If you wish to propose a new stub category and template, please follow these procedures:
  1. Check the List of stub types or under Category:Stub categories to make sure that your proposed new stub does not already exist.
  2. List it at the top of the current month's section, under a header, like the ones shown (if any). Sign it with a datestamp (~~~~).
    • Please bear in mind that a stub category isn't about the importance or notability of the topic!
  3. Find a good number[1] of stub articles, as many as you can, that will fit that template. You may use this tool to scan through categories; tagged stubs are always in Category:All stub articles and transclude {{asbox}}. Each of these articles can be:
    • currently marked with {{stub}};
    • currently marked with another type of stub tag (in which case you should justify why your tag is better for the article than the current one);
    • a stub whose categorisation is highly ambiguous or questionable;
    • not marked as a stub.
  4. If you use any category scan (from the tool mentioned above or from any other), please link to it so that other users can confirm that the results are still accurate.
  5. Others may do the same, if they so desire.
  6. 5 days after listing it here, if there is general approval or no objection, go ahead and create the new category and/or template following the format on Wikipedia:Stub. List the new stub type on the stub types list in an appropriate section. If consensus is not clear, or discussion is still ongoing, the proposal will remain open until consensus can be reached.
  7. If you wish to propose a stub type which does not currently have 60 articles that could use it, you may propose an upmerged template in a similar way. An upmerged template would feed into currently existing stub categories until such time that there are enough stubs for a separate stub category. At that point a category for it may be separately proposed. Some times, it may be difficult to be sure how many stubs would get a tag - in which case you can also start with an upmerged stub tag until you're sure there are enough.

DO NOT place a proposal here for any stub type which has already been created and is being discussed at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion. The proposal page is only for stub types that have not yet been created, and it is better to keep any discussion of such stub types in one place rather than splitting it between different pages. Wikipedia:Categories for discussion is the correct page for proposals to delete a stub type.

^ Good number means about 60 articles or more, or 30 or more if it is the primary stub type of a WikiProject, though this figure may vary from case to case.

"Speedy creation"

A stub type may be proposed for "speedy creation" if it meets one of the following criteria:

  • S1 - the creation of a category for which an approved upmerged template already exists and is now in use on more than 60 articles.
  • S2 - the creation of an upmerged national-level template for a subject in which other such national-level templates currently exist (e.g., X-bio-stub, X-hist-stub, or X-geo-stub, where X is the name of an internationally widely recognised country) or other instances where a clearly established pattern of similar subtypes exists. The proposed topic may not be controversial in scope. Many templates qualifying for S2 are listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/To do/To create.

List speedy creation proposals in the same proposal listings as normal stub proposals below.


Proposals, December 2023

Bulbophyllum (Asia-Pacific clade)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed creation of the stub template and/or category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the template's or category's talk page (if any). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the debate was sub-cats created.
I recently successfully proposed subcategories for Category:Bulbophyllum (Asia-Pacific clade), but am unsure what I should name the stub templates for the new categories. Any ideas? Thanks, Andumé (talk) 04:56, 14 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Kursk Oblast geography stubs

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed creation of the stub template and/or category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the template's or category's talk page (if any). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the debate was created as revised.
Currently at 812 articles; I propose we create upmerged templates for each of its districts:

If fewer templates are desired, let me know and I'll chase down possible article counts for each district. Her Pegship (?) 23:31, 12 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

ETA: I've put in the article counts that I've been able to find, so I amend my proposal to create only templates for those with article counts. Her Pegship (?) 21:46, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
No opposition, thus I will create templates & cats for these:
and an upmerged template for {{KurchatovskyRU-geo-stub}} until it hits 60. Her Pegship (?) 19:59, 21 December 2023 (UTC)three Oktyabrsky Districts in Russia, I'm guessing that disambiguation in the template might be required, thus, I propose further the use of the ISO code for Kursk Oblast, thusly: {{OktyabrskyKRS-geo-stub}}. OK? Her Pegship (?) 21:01, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Pyrausta (moth)-stub/Pyrausta (moth) stubs

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed creation of the stub template and/or category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the template's or category's talk page (if any). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the debate was proposed for renaming.
Calling all entomologists(?) - This is an awkward format for a stub template; I'm not sure the "(moth)" distinction is necessary in the template, though it seems fine in the category name. Before I propose {{pyrausta (moth)-stub}} for renaming to {{pyrausta-stub}}, does anyone here have an opinion? Thanks. Her Pegship (?) 18:39, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was create.
Category:Bulbophyllum (Asia-Pacific clade) stubs has over 1,200 articles and no subcategories. Therefore, I propose the creation of these categories + their respective stub templates:

The result of the debate was create.
The Category:Holocephali has over 70 stub-like articles, as can be seen here. I propose the creation of the Category:Holocephali stubs. Best, --Fadesga (talk) 14:42, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Edited: I have created the templates {{Holocephalan-stub}} and {{Paleo-holocephalan-stub}}; using the tool, there are 36 + 58 = 94 holocephalan stubs so far. --Fadesga (talk) 13:12, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

Batoidea stubs

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed creation of the stub template and/or category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the template's or category's talk page (if any). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the debate was create.
In the Category:Cartilaginous fish stubs there is already a Category:Rajiformes stubs. But, looking further, Category:Rajiformes is actually a subcategory of Category:Rays, corresponding to the clade Batoidea. If we look at this analysis, there are at least 100 Rays articles that do not belong to Rajiformes proper. This invites to the creation of a Category:Batoidea stubs (which will then include the existing Category:Rajiformes stubs as a subcategory).

The result of the debate was create.
The Category:Gobiiformes stubs has over 300 stubs, of which more than 200 belong to the Category:Oxudercidae, as can be seen here. I propose the creation of the Category:Oxudercidae stubs. Best, --Fadesga (talk) 14:42, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Bulbophyllum stubs has over 1,600 articles and no subcategories. Therefore, I propose the creation of these categories + their respective stub templates:

Category:Bulbophyllum (Asia-Pacific clade) stubs still has way too many articles in it, but I have no idea how to subdivide it. Any ideas would be welcome. Andumé (talk) 04:15, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support. And a suggestion for Asia-Pacific: I see that there are over 60 subcategories in the Category:Bulbophyllum (Asia-Pacific clade); maybe you could further create, say, A-D, E-G, etc. --Fadesga (talk) 20:00, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Syrphidae stubs

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed creation of the stub template and/or category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the template's or category's talk page (if any). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the debate was create.
Category:Syrphidae stubs has over 1,500 articles and no subcategories. Therefore, I propose the creation of this category + its respective stub template:

Category:Eristalinae stubs will need further subcategories, but since Category:Eristalinae doesn't have any large subcategories (yet), I do not yet have a plan for doing so. Andumé (talk) 05:24, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have now sorted Category:Eristalinae into subcategories, with three of them having more then 60 stubs. I therefore propose the creation of these subcategories for Category:Eristalinae stubs + their respective templates:
This would leave Category:Eristalinae with a much more reasonable 107 articles.

Stubs for novels before the 18th Century

The result of the debate was create.
There are currently 5 templates for novel stubs published in the 13th through 17th Centuries. These templates categorize the novel stubs to Category:Novel stubs. I propose to replace all of the 5 templates with one template, {{pre-18thC-novel-stub}} and create a new category Category:Pre-18th-century novel stubs. This category would not contain 60 or more articles (likely 30 or less), but it would provide a consolidation of the 'early' novel stubs and move Category:Novel stubs one step closer to the container category I believe it should be (that is, the category should contain only categories and not articles, in my opinion). Thanks for considering this. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 00:59, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

1900s comedy film stubs - dropping a small stub category

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed creation of the stub template and/or category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the template's or category's talk page (if any). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the debate was reorg per nom.
Category:1900s comedy film stubs contains the {{1900s-comedy-film-stub}} template and a single article; it is however parent to Category:1900s short comedy film stubs, which has a decent 53 articles. My suggestion is to eliminate the '1900s comedy film stubs' and re-stub the single article to Category:Silent comedy film stubs, which has ~40 articles at the moment. The '1900s short comedy film stubs' category would have take the parentage that the now-deleted category had. The before and after state are illustrated in the image below. Thanks for considering. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 01:16, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

1910s American Western (genre) film stubs

The result of the debate was create.
This concerns two stub templates/categories: {{1910s-Western-film-stub}} / Category:1910s Western (genre) film stubs and {{1910s-US-film-stub}} / Category:1910s American film stubs.

"Western" contains 263 articles while "American" contains 630 articles. Intersection of the categories assessed via PetScan shows a count of 163. This would reduce "American" to 467 and "Western" to 100. Thanks for considering. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 00:56, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
