Proposals, December 2012

Please check how many articles qualify for a stub type before proposing it.

If (after approval) you create a stub type, please be sure to add it to the list of stub types. This page will be archived in its entirety once all discussions have been closed; there is no need to move them to another page.

Bible translation stubs

Hi people. Once again with the topics of translation. But this time it is about the Bible. There are already some Bible-related stubs contained in the category:Translation stubs. But there are quite a lot yet to come, see, for instance, this scan (60 stubs about Bible versions in different languages); and we could eventually include stubs with biographies of Bible translators as well. What do you say about creating a template:Bible-translation-stub and a category:Bible translation stubs? Regards, --Fabio Descalzi, aka Fadesga (talk) 12:44, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

Translator stubs

Hi people. I am going through the Category:Translation stubs and also seeing the subcategories included in the Category:Translation. I think it could be worth to create a new stub subcategory, Category:Translator stubs. The reason: look at this scan, there are at least 62 articles related to persons who are or were translators. And further: there must be other translator-related articles that are not yet included in the corresponding stub category, but can be duly included there, as we can see from this scan. What do you say? Regards, --Fabio Descalzi, aka Fadesga (talk) 18:03, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

And, if you let me, we could further include some other new stub templates and categories, such as:

• Category:American translator stubs (scan: 94 articles)
• Category:British translator stubs (scan: 105 articles)
• Category:French translator stubs (scan: 70 articles).

Support. I think by now we have enough articles on people who were primarily translators that a stub tag would be viable. --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 19:16, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Literary character stubs

In sorting stub articles that are part of {{WikiProject Fictional characters}}, a lot of character stubs have been tagged with {{lit-char-stub}}, because many characters are introduced in books before they become film or TV characters. Consequently, Category:Literary character stubs is growing (currently 635 articles), but all of these stub articles are also part of {{WikiProject Novels}}, {{WikiProject Literature}} or {{WikiProject Children's literature}}. Since there is already a corresponding {{lit-char-stub}} and {{child-lit-char-stub}} for the latter two, I propose that a new stub tag be created, to better classify these articles, and differentiate the stubs for characters that came from novels. Any suggestions? Fortdj33 (talk) 17:10, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Articles tagged by lit-char-stub by Catscan:

• Theatre characters: 32
• Poetry characters: 19
• Science Fiction characters: 46
• Fantasy characters: 83
• Novel characters: 324
• Children's lit characters: 19
• Characters in legends: 6

There is of course some overlap, and I haven't figured out where the other 250 or so are hiding, but:

• {{theat-char-stub}}/Category:Theatre character stubs should have 70 articles total (many are currently tagged with {{fict-char-stub}}).
• {{sf-char-stub}} and {{child-lit-char-stub}} already exist.
• {{fantasy-char-stub}}/Category:Fantasy character stubs will easily be big enough with {{MiddleEarth-char-stub}} upmerged.
• {{Novel-char-stub}}/Category:Novel character stubs might be too broad, and too arbitrarily distinguished from things like light novel chars, short story chars, or fantasy chars, to be useful. I'm not sure. --Qetuth (talk) 23:36, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
