Proposals, January 2013

I see we have 3 of the natural children of the proposed category (Category:English football competition stubs, Category:Scottish football competition stubs and Category:Welsh football competition stubs),, it seems odd we don't have the parent. I propose we create it, and possibly its templte (or should we just have it as a parent-only category?) עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 06:31, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

It looks like the obvious corresponding permcats are all (currently) parent only (eg Category:Football competitions in the United Kingdom and Category:Football leagues in the United Kingdom). So it dosn't look like the template is strictly needed, but it always bugs me when I try to put a stub in a long-existing stub category and can't because it's parent only (it seems to happen at least once a week). So, either way... --Qetuth (talk) 12:44, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Some stub types for Catalonia

Icelandic football competition stus

Greece geography stubs by regions

Welsh building templates by county

These are definitely needed, do a few bit of work on old buildings of Wales.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 17:43, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Our geography stubs use preserved counties, which seems strange to me, but I think geo and struct trees shouldn't be using different subdivision styles if avoidable. I'm not sure there is yet reason to split at all, with 172 articles in the main category over 22 counties coming out with less than 8 avg per tag, and churches an easy split-off if needed. --Qetuth (talk) 04:39, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
You're forgetting that I'm around..♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 22:20, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
As below - if you're the one that's going to be doing most of the work in the area, I trust your judgement, but we've previously gone with a different way of dividing Wales. --Qetuth (talk) 23:23, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
@Qetuth: You state "our geography stubs use preserved counties, which seems strange to me, but I think geo and struct trees shouldn't be using different subdivision styles if avoidable" - I've checked, and although preserved counties are used for the stub cats, the stub templates are all named after the Principal areas of Wales, and that seems to be the scheme requested by Dr. Blofeld here. --Redrose64 (talk) 14:20, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
Support (disclosure: I've been asked about this by Dr. Blofeld at User talk:Redrose64#A barnstar for you!) I don't have any objection, but I do have some observations. First, I think that we should hold off on creating the county categories; they can all upmerge to Category:Welsh building and structure stubs until there are sufficient pages using each template. Second, I would like the names to be consistent with those used to populate subcats of Category:Wales geography stubs - at present there are two discrepancies: {{MerthyrTydfil-struct-stub}} is suggested above, but the existing -geo- template is {{Merthyr-geo-stub}}; {{BlaenauGwent-struct-stub}} is suggested above, but there is no {{BlaenauGwent-geo-stub}}. --Redrose64 (talk) 14:18, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. Yes for some counties at present there might be half a dozen at present max, but I intended creating a few stubs on Grade I listed buildings. If you consider that the Vale of Glamorgan alone has over 700 listed buildings I can assure that there will be plenty of stubs by county to make it worthwhile!♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:25, 27 March 2014 (UTC)

Spanish building templates by province

I intend creating a lot of Spanish building stubs, I think these would be useful.♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 17:39, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Support all, with the usual disambiguators. (Guadalajara, for instance - there's also the one in Mexico. Not sure what the protocol would be, tho'.) --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 18:17, 3 January 2013 (UTC)

Minor point: they should have dashs not spaces before stub. I know Victoria (Australia) gets stub tagged as VictoriaAU, so maybe append ES when it's needed? After checking, it looks like we do that already for {{LaRiojaES-geo-stub}} but thre is no prior Guadalajara stub tag as it is covered by {{CastileLaMancha-geo-stub}}. I notice this list is a lot more extensive than the geography categories, eg A Coruna, Lugo etc are grouped under {{Galicia-geo-stub}}, and many others are similarly collected by autonomous community rather than province. I don't know how many articles you are making, but it would currently average less than 10 articles per province. Is a full by province split the best idea when it is already largely split by building type (and Catalonia), or would by Autonomous community to match the geography cats do the job better? --Qetuth (talk) 04:12, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
Do you think I'd have proposed this if the intention wasn't to dramatically populate them?♦ Dr. ☠ Blofeld 22:22, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
Well, you have a better idea than me about the scope of growth (obviously) - I was just pointing out that there were two possible ways to split up Spain and we've previously gone with the other one. If you believe province is better, I'll trust you on that. --Qetuth (talk) 23:20, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
