Italian painter stubs

1. I just created categories for Italian painter, 14th century birth stubs‎ and Italian painter, 20th century birth stubs‎

The Italian painters stub category has over 800 entries and creating subcategories may increase the speed of improvement. I say this meets either

S1 - the creation of a category for which an approved upmerged template already exists and is now in use on more than 60 articles.
S2 - the creation of an upmerged national-level template for a subject in which other such national-level templates currently exist

Missing-bio-stub

I think we should have a way to categorize "Disappearance of" type articles, since they are not appropriate for {{bio-stub}}. The code I have worked up is:

Extended content
{{Asbox
| image     = 
| pix       = 30
| subject   = 
| qualifier = about a missing person
| category  = Missing people stubs
| tempsort  =  
| note      = <!-- For use on "Disappearance of" articles -->
| name      = Template:Missing-bio-stub
}}

The reason I brought this here is that I can't find a suitable Icon to use. Something with two people, (like File:Crystal Clear app Login Manager.svg) involving a question mark, maybe? File:At a loss.svg is the only one even close.--Auric talk 14:09, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

Century stubs for short stories and short story collections

The Category:Novel stubs cat is very well diffused, but not the Category:Story stubs and Category:Short story collection stubs. I'm willing to help diffuse these cats. I suggest starting with centuries: 19thC-story-stub, 20thC-story-stub, 21stC-story-stub and their corresponding collection cats 19thC-story-collection-stub, 20thC-story-collection-stub, and 21stC-story-collection-stub. We can later add decade stubs as we see fit. Thanks, Aristophanes68 (talk) 23:14, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

Early-play-stub

Most of the entries in Category:Play stubs are plays whose dates are not readily available. But most of the ancient and medieval play-stub articles do have dates listed, but they have no category to sort into because we have no cats for anything before the 15th century--see Category:Pre-18th-century play stubs for the available options. There aren't a lot of these articles, but it seems odd to have no other place to put them, given how many other time-based play-stub cats we do have. Therefore I propose we create an "early-play-stub" template that would cover all the pre-12thC play stubs and that would be placed in the pre-18th-century category.

Missing Decade-Play-Stub Cats

Under the S2 criteria, I propose creating Category:1900s play stubs (35 articles), Category:1910s play stubs (37 articles), Category:1940s play stubs (50 articles), Category:1950s play stubs (58 articles), and Category:2010s play stubs (53 articles). I believe that the decade-categorization is sufficiently established that it should not matter how many stubs are in these categories and that filling in the missing decades is more important. Also, I half-created the 2010s play stub cat before I realized that they needed to be requested here; it's still up, but not listed in any stub cats yet. Sorry!

Speedy create stub tags, create categories where the stub tags are used on enough articles. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 19:58, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
I'm not sure I know what you mean. The stub tags exist, but they don't have matching categories yet, so they're all lumped together in Category:20th-century play stubs, etc. Are you saying create new stubs, or new cats? Aristophanes68 (talk) 20:21, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
I didn't know the tags existed. Try using them on existing stubs; any btag which is used on 60 stubs can get its own category. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 03:20, 14 September 2014 (UTC)
I've been doing that with Category:Play stubs and have dramatically reduced the number of stubs in that catch-all category. As you can see from the numbers above, the 1950s stubs are just under 60, and the 1940s are close behind. Aristophanes68 (talk) 21:08, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

I propose creating Category:Southwestern Indiana stubs - a quick scan finds 161 stubs. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 20:50, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
