Category:British painter stubs

There are currently over 500 articles in this category and it would aid editors like myself, wishing to expand stubs, if we could break them down into centuries of birth, at least e.g.

• {{British-painter-18th-century-stub}}
• {{British-painter-19th-century-stub}}
• {{British-painter-20th-century-stub}}

I would support doing the same thing we did for the US. Tag using the decade of birth, but categorize using the century:

• Category:British painters, 20th-century birth stubs
  • {{UK-painter-1990s-stub}}
  • {{UK-painter-1980s-stub}}
  • {{UK-painter-1970s-stub}}
  • {{UK-painter-1960s-stub}}
  • {{UK-painter-1950s-stub}}
  • {{UK-painter-1940s-stub}}
  • {{UK-painter-1930s-stub}}
  • {{UK-painter-1920s-stub}}
  • {{UK-painter-1910s-stub}}
  • {{UK-painter-1900s-stub}}
• Category:British painters, 19th-century birth stubs
  • {{UK-painter-1890s-stub}}
  • {{UK-painter-1880s-stub}}
  • {{UK-painter-1870s-stub}}
  • {{UK-painter-1860s-stub}}
  • {{UK-painter-1850s-stub}}
  • {{UK-painter-1840s-stub}}
  • {{UK-painter-1830s-stub}}

Avant-garde and experimental films template

Category already exists with 100+ entries, but there's no stub-type (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Stub_sorting/Stub_types/Culture#By_genre), which essentially leaves out a whole continent of cinema. Doubly necessary since Wikipedia is so weak on this topic, and a lot of stubs exist (Symphonie diagonale, As I Was Moving Ahead Occasionally I Saw Brief Glimpses of Beauty), even on the most important films, like Dog Star Man (!!) and one which I just had to create, Tom, Tom, the Piper's Son (film). There are also thousands of notable films that don't even have stubs yet, so it definitely crosses the "good number" threshold... Tothebarricades (talk) 01:26, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

Support. Propose {{experimental-film-stub}}, with Category:Avant-garde and experimental film stubs. Dawynn (talk) 14:43, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

Category:South American architect stubs

Propose new template ({{SouthAm-architect-stub}}) and category. This is an under-tagged category that is very fillable. Will also pick up:

• {{Argentina-architect-stub}}
• {{Bolivia-architect-stub}}
• {{Brazil-architect-stub}}
• {{Chile-architect-stub}}
• {{Colombia-architect-stub}}
• {{Paraguay-architect-stub}}
• {{Peru-architect-stub}}
• {{Uruguay-architect-stub}}

Category:Gibraltarian sport stubs

Propose new exploratory template ({{Gibraltar-sport-stub}}), and potential category (Category:Gibraltarian sport stubs). Will wait for at least 60 articles amongst the various templates before building category. If category built, the following will be included:

• {{Gibraltar-sport-bio-stub}} (5 P)
• Category:Gibraltarian football biography stubs - Prematurely built category with only 5 articles.
• {{Gibraltar-athletics-bio-stub}} (1 P)
