Newly discovered, August 2009

{{Badminton-stub}}/without cat

Just found this one because bot didn't like it (no category). Please take a look. –xenotalk 02:56, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Found this irregularly split by sub-national identity like below. Borgarde (talk) 10:40, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The bio one makes a certain (limited) sense, though I personally don't like it as a way of splitting bio-stubs. The politicians one doesn't, thouygh - politicians are split by nation and then by party alignment. Grutness...wha? 22:51, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Found this irregularly split by sub-national identity for biographies.Borgarde (talk) 10:40, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Found these taxon-specific items. Seem OK and well structured, so added to the List and sorted additional stubs in from Category:Algae stubs. Now 98 items in the new stub category. Apparently proposed in April 2007, but never listed. --EncycloPetey (talk) 15:40, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

sounds like one of the many that was created after proposal and never listed (I am probably one of the biggest culprits of that) and given that it is well over 60 keep. Waacstats (talk) 08:13, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Found this category which has been manually added to articles, not generated by a stub template. Borgarde (talk) 11:04, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This is bound to cause trouble and given the fact that we don't split people by subnational entities I think this should be taken to SFD. Waacstats (talk) 12:01, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. Grutness...wha? 01:22, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Off to SFD we go then. Waacstats (talk) 08:34, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to be OK, upmerged to Category:Computer game stubs and used on 53 articles looks like a keeper. Waacstats (talk) 10:47, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Discovered all of the above at WP:WikiProject Journalism#Stub sorting. Jezhotwells (talk) 18:06, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

These have all been around a long, long time and are known about. we were splitting subtypes out of mag-stub over three years ago, for instance (see here). They're listed on the stub lists under Wikipedia:WikiProject_Stub_sorting/Stub_types/Culture#Media_publications. Grutness...wha? 01:28, 12 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Already on list? otherwise add to list Waacstats (talk) 09:47, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry guys, I didn't know there were such elaborate procedures for stub sorting. I created the above because the only templates available were US and Canada specific and frankly there are a lot of countries with malls. Rather than create individual templates at this time, I created a catch-all because we don't know where a mall might come from. I'd already created it before I realized there were such procedures. I'm going to put a few articles into it as there seem to be plenty that could use it. This will help the shopping malls project identify stubs in their scope that aren't from US/Can.--Crossmr (talk) 15:36, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Mall-stub's probably one that's been needed for a while, for exactly the reasons mentioned. As long as any articles marked with it are marked with the appropriate national struct-stub (until such time as separate national-mall-stub types are proposed/made), I don't see any problems with it. It has thrown up a problem with the name of the US equivalent, though (see WP:SFD). Grutness...wha? 23:20, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
