Proposals, August 2011

Bony fish stubs

504 at the moment - not severely oversized but could stand paring. Tradition dictates separate tags for Scotland, England, Wales, etc., but I'm not sure that will help matters much. I'd suggest a by-century paring down, thus:

{{UK-painter-18thC-stub}} - 100 articles, according to CatScan
{{UK-painter-19thC-stub}} - 205 articles, according to CatScan
{{UK-painter-20thC-stub}} - 149 articles, according to CatScan

That should take care of most of 'em. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 17:45, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Golf competition stubs

Woodpecker stubs

Roman Catholic document stubs

Some more possible subcats for prehistoric reptiles

New European rapid transit stubs categories

Propose the following categories:

This should tidy up the category nicely. My questions are:

  1. Should we create a France category to house Category:Paris RER stubs and Category:Paris Métro stubs?
  2. Should we create a country template for categories that don't have country templates (i.e. {{Italy-metro-stub}} and a possible {{France-metro-stub}}; {{Spain-metro-stub}} is already proposed below)?

  1. Yes, not to mention a Sweden category (for Category:Stockholm Metro stubs) and a Belgium category (for Category:Brussels Metro stubs).
  2. Definitely if there are any stubswhich should be tagged with them (that is, belong to the country but not to any of the cities with their own tags), probably not otherwise.

Hmm, can't say I see the point in a Sweden or Belgium category (or Norwegian for the existing Category:Oslo Metro stubs or Czech for Category:Prague Metro stubs) as there wouldn't be any other articles to go in them. Of articles currently tagged with {{Europe-metro-stub}}, 10 are for France but 0 are for Italy. SeveroTC 11:38, 26 August 2011 (UTC) (+ 17:04, 26 August 2011 (UTC))
Agree with all the templates and ctegories by city, as for the by country ones I would say templates yes but categories only if there are a few articles using the template. Waacstats (talk) 08:14, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
Support all, per Waacstaats. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 14:53, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

So is that a yes to Category:French rapid transit stubs and {{France-metro-stub}} but a no to Sweden, Belgium, Norway and Czech Republic categories (as templates wouldn't be used in any articles)? SeveroTC 07:23, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

No templates, certainly, but I don't see any reason why there shouldn't be parent-only cats, to match the rest of the pattern. Grutness...wha? 01:54, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

Prehistoric archosaur stubs

Alternate ENGVAR versions of stub tags

not exceptionally large but the following may help with nationality parent cats

{{Germany-equestrian-bio-stub}} - Category:German equestrian biography stubs
{{US-equestrian-bio-stub}} - Category:American equestrian biography stubs
{{UK-equestrian-bio-stub}} - Category:British equestrian biography stubs

cats iff templates reach 60 which a quick scan would suggest is only going to be Germany at the moment. Waacstats (talk) 21:36, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

Support. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 14:52, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

In need of a tidy up but {{US-baseball-umpire-stub}} and Category:American baseball umpire stubs would definitely help with cutting the size back down. Waacstats (talk) 21:36, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

Support - I went ahead and fixed the capitalization, too, for completeness' sake. :-) --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 14:54, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

I've proposed renaming this category at WP:SFD to either Category:Cooking utensil stubs or Category:Kitchenware stubs, the names of its two possible parents. But the category's a bit of a mish-mash, since it also contains drinkware, which should reall be at its own loccation.As such, I'd like to propose:

This would also go a long way towards making the currently woefully undersized Category:Bartending stubs more viable (as it would be a natural subcat for it). Grutness...wha? 04:17, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Support. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 15:10, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Just templates for now, categories upon the size of the templates whether to go system based or country based:

I also propose at this time a {{Europe-metro-stub}} to clear up all over European systems into one cat.

SeveroTC 16:31, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

Support all. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 19:27, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
Support. I'd go with ParisRER-metro-stub, and I think you're right about changing the foo-U-bahn-stubs to Ubahn. Grutness...wha? 00:17, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
S-Bahn amended to SBahn; I will take the existing U-Bahn ones to SFD. SeveroTC 07:14, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

I'm thinking also of an {{SBahn-stub}} and a {{UBahn-stub}} as redirects to {{Europe-metro-stub}}. SeveroTC 06:28, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Update to add a {{Spain-metro-stub}} in place of the Valencia template - there are some new systems in Spain which could see some article growth and it's looking like a country level stub category so add the country-level template, which deprecated the need for the Valencia one. SeveroTC 16:55, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

European railway station stubs 2

This should deal with this category, at least on a country level, for a time:

Categories iff 60, as usual. SeveroTC 12:21, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

Support - yes. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 15:10, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

Well into three figures, and many of them unique to NZ - would match the similar split for Australia, and would ease the pressure which is slowly growing on the (approaching 600-stub) Category:New Zealand stubs. Grutness...wha? 02:34, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

Split of Protein stubs

This is one for a more scientificsally minded stub-sorter than me, but Category:Protein stubs is currently one of the biggest oversized categories at 1150 stubs. It seems to me that it could be halved by dividing out the following two subtypes of proteins:

Any thoughts? Grutness...wha? 01:13, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

I'm not very scienticsally minded either and I can't find perm cats for these so not to sure at the moment. Waacstats (talk) 13:43, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
It's hard to type with a cat on your lap :) Yeah, I couldn't find permcats either (apart from the one on my lap)... but protein states that this is the main way that proteins are divided up. Perhaps someone with some knowledge of the area should see whether permcats are a good idea there. Unfortunately, chemistry is not my forte. Grutness...wha? 00:36, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Archery stubs

Sport event stubs - the easy ones

Ice hockey stubs

Yet more Norwegian politicians

I propose the following:

Support but you may want to check the tempalte of the last one (damn copy and paste!) Waacstats (talk) 21:01, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
Should that have been {{SognFjordane-politician-stub}} / {{SognFjordane-mayor-stub}}? Figured we should clarify before we close the discussion. Dawynn (talk) 18:48, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
