A few stub templates that don't end in -stub

-- WOSlinker (talk) 22:32, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

While on the subject of odd naming... (Some of these are discussion elsewhere as well) –xenotalk 04:26, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Template:Central Asian archaeology stub
  2. Template:D&DVG stub
  3. Template:Distilled beverages-stub
  4. Template:Italian comics-stub
  5. Template:Rahim YarKhan-geo-stub
  6. Template:North Korean-poet-stub
  7. Template:South Korean-poet-stub
On the subject of the NorthKorea SouthKorea, why don't we have both North and South seperate normally? I think this is a logical split, they are just incorrectly named. Borgarde (talk) 06:05, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  1. Template:U.S. Virgin Islands-road-stub
  2. Template:West Nusa Tenggara-geo-stub

{{Central Asian archaeology stub}}/Category:Central Asian archaeology stubs

Found this one Borgarde (talk) 13:30, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Template:India-china-stub

Weird one. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 12:49, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Various

I would appreciate if someone could sort through these:

  • Marching-band-stub - looks like we have a category with 30 articles but not fed by this template, parent category seems to have numerous articles and subcats so maybe useful,
  • NorthDakota-county-route-stub - I thought we had standardised all these to state-road-stub, SFD fodder
  • Pacificnorthwest-stub - we don't split by areas split over two countries, SFD
  • penmanship-stub - looks like cat was deleted just not the template SFD or speedy
  • Phasmatodea-stub - given the way these genus' normally grow I would not be surprised if this wasn't worth keeping, upmerged to Insect stubs
  • Playstation stubs - used to have a cat (Sont computer entertainment stubs) may be worth putting it back there as that is currently undersized.
  • SouthAm-actor-stubs - readded cat as someone had removed it, this will probably become unecessary when we get round to creating the foo-actor-stubs for each country but keep till then
  • Tamagochi-stub - Certainly needs upmerging somewhere but we don't have a virtual pet stubs so not sure where.
  • UFO-stub - may be of future use but can't think of any where to upmerge to. SFD fodder for now
  • Wales-music-stub - not a normal axis of split though we do have a proud tradition of music here in wales, still SFD fodder
Webzine-stub - may be useful I don't know how many webzines we have on here, upmerge to Magazine stubs and web stubs? would be my suggestion

Thanks! –xenotalk 03:43, 24 August 2009 (UTC)suggest directing to category and seeing how it goes.[reply]

Hope no minds me putting the comments under each template just thought it would be easier if any need to be split into a seperate discussion. Waacstats (talk) 09:23, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Nope, I certainly don't mind. Do you mind taking the next steps with these? Thanks! –xenotalk 12:54, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A few more. –xenotalk 17:00, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

{{Kwaito-album-stub}} / without cat

A handful of transclusions. No category. –xenotalk 00:04, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

made very difficult to look into by the fact that we don't even have a perm cat, the question then is if we don't have a perm cat why do we have a template. looks like even ore SFD fodder. Waacstats (talk) 09:02, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

{{FrenchWriter-stub}} / without cat

Unused, categorizes into a parent cat. –xenotalk 20:43, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WP:SFD material - already thoroughly covered by {{France-writer-stub}}, which conforms to standard naming conventions (this one doesn't). Grutness...wha? 22:48, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
T3'd. –xenotalk 03:42, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

{{Chinese-food-stub}} / without cat

Another lacking a cat. It did have one, but a bot removed it because I think no one created it. Only 3 members... –xenotalk 19:40, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WP:SFD material - already thoroughly covered by {{China-cuisine-stub}}, which conforms to standard naming conventions (this one doesn't). Grutness...wha? 22:48, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Tagged with {{deprecated template}}. –xenotalk 03:42, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

{{Bible-stub}}/ Category:Bible stubs

2 members presently. Could probably have things split into it... –xenotalk 05:29, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Already thoroughly covered by other stub types - this is possibly more SFD material unless a use can be shown for it which differs from the current available stub types. Grutness...wha? 22:48, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Possibly upmerge template at best, certainly SFD for category. Waacstats (talk) 09:00, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

{{Gene-stub}}, {{Gene-1-stub}}, etc.

I already posted here about these, but it's only dawned on me that these are actually *discoveries*! Read the post there. I think they're good categories/stubs, but they need reorganization and renaming. — Skittleys (talk) 03:42, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

These ones were actually proposed, back in about April last year. Grutness...wha? 22:48, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

{{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]

Seems a reasonable idea, but it needs cleaning up and (unless there are more stubs) upmerging. BTW, something that probably needs adding to the instructions of this page is the use of {{wssdnotify}}, to let the creators of these stub types know that they've caused problems downstream. Grutness...wha? 22:48, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep possibly upmerged to Category:Sports stubs Waacstats (talk) 08:32, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

{{Catalonia-politician-stub}}/Category:Catalan politician stubs

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]
Politicians aren't always split by party (just mostly), US/CAN are split by state/province and then which parliment they sat in, JPN/NOR are split by DoB if memory serves correctly. I think this should live or die with the catalonia-bio-stub, the only reason to keep would be to reduce double stubbing and there would be no double stubbing without the bio-stub so very week keep. Waacstats (talk) 08:58, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

{{Catalonia-bio-stub}}/Category:Catalonia people stubs

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

We don't normally split by subnational entity but given the fact that catalonia has a seperate language/culture to the rest of spain this may be worth keeping but I am doubtful. Waacstats (talk) 08:54, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

{{chromalveolate-stub}}/Category:Chromalveolate stubs

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]

Category:Bosniak people stubs

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]

{{8bitcomputer-game-stub}}

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]

{{Journalism-stub}}

{{Journalist-stub}}

{{newspaper-stub}}

{{US-newspaper-stub}}

{{mag-stub}}

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]

{{Mall-stub}}

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]
keep and add to list Waacstats (talk) 09:47, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
