On this WikiProject Stub sorting subpage, you can propose new stub types (please read the procedures beforehand!), as well as the reorganization and subdivision of existing stub types. You can also discuss anything else related to stubs on the talk page.

Proposing new stub types – procedure

[edit]

Important: If you wish to propose the creation of a stub ARTICLE you've come to the wrong place. If you don't have a username yourself, please go to WP:AFC for proposing a new article. If you already have a username, you can create the article yourself. If you don't know how, add {{Helpme}} to your user talk page to request help from other editors. This page only deals with stub TEMPLATES and CATEGORIES; we cannot help you with creating articles.

Proposing new stub types
If you wish to propose a new stub category and template, please follow these procedures:
  1. Check the List of stub types or under Category:Stub categories to make sure that your proposed new stub does not already exist.
  2. List it at the top of the current month's section, under a header, like the ones shown (if any). Sign it with a datestamp (~~~~).
    • Please bear in mind that a stub category isn't about the importance or notability of the topic!
  3. Find a good number[1] of stub articles, as many as you can, that will fit that template. You may use this tool to scan through categories; tagged stubs are always in Category:All stub articles and transclude {{asbox}}. Each of these articles can be:
    • currently marked with {{stub}};
    • currently marked with another type of stub tag (in which case you should justify why your tag is better for the article than the current one);
    • a stub whose categorisation is highly ambiguous or questionable;
    • not marked as a stub.
  4. If you use any category scan (from the tool mentioned above or from any other), please link to it so that other users can confirm that the results are still accurate.
  5. Others may do the same, if they so desire.
  6. 5 days after listing it here, if there is general approval or no objection, go ahead and create the new category and/or template following the format on Wikipedia:Stub. List the new stub type on the stub types list in an appropriate section. If consensus is not clear, or discussion is still ongoing, the proposal will remain open until consensus can be reached.
  7. If you wish to propose a stub type which does not currently have 60 articles that could use it, you may propose an upmerged template in a similar way. An upmerged template would feed into currently existing stub categories until such time that there are enough stubs for a separate stub category. At that point a category for it may be separately proposed. Some times, it may be difficult to be sure how many stubs would get a tag - in which case you can also start with an upmerged stub tag until you're sure there are enough.

DO NOT place a proposal here for any stub type which has already been created and is being discussed at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion. The proposal page is only for stub types that have not yet been created, and it is better to keep any discussion of such stub types in one place rather than splitting it between different pages. Wikipedia:Categories for discussion is the correct page for proposals to delete a stub type.

^ Good number means about 60 articles or more, or 30 or more if it is the primary stub type of a WikiProject, though this figure may vary from case to case.

"Speedy creation"

[edit]

A stub type may be proposed for "speedy creation" if it meets one of the following criteria:

  • 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 (e.g., X-bio-stub, X-hist-stub, or X-geo-stub, where X is the name of an internationally widely recognised country) or other instances where a clearly established pattern of similar subtypes exists. The proposed topic may not be controversial in scope.

List speedy creation proposals in the same proposal listings as normal stub proposals below.

Proposals, May 2025

[edit]

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

NEW PROPOSALS

[edit]

Paris geography stubs

[edit]

Propose the creation of a new stub category; {{Paris-geo-stub}} has over 60 transclusions, and {{Paris-road-stub}} needs a more fitting parent category - OpalYosutebitotalk』 『articles I want to eat01:58, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

14th-century English MP stubs

[edit]

This category is oversized. I propose splitting it up:

@OpalYosutebito: What is "this category"? I've looked, and Category:14th century English MP stubs doesn't exist, and is moreover empty. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 18:13, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I fixed it - OpalYosutebitotalk』 『articles I want to eat18:17, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
It's always best to link it, (a) so that we can inspect it and (b) so that you can see if you made a typo. Templates like {{cl}} and {{clc}} amy be used for this, as follows: Category:14th-century English MP stubs (738) --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:30, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed it again, don't worry - OpalYosutebitotalk』 『articles I want to eat22:39, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Please don't put template transclusions in section headings, it screws the inward links. See MOS:HEADINGS. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:39, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I forgot about that, sorry. Thanks for your feedback and understanding! - OpalYosutebitotalk』 『articles I want to eat23:40, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Greenland glacier stubs

[edit]

{{Greenland-glacier-stub}} has over 70 transclusions - OpalYosutebitotalk』 『articles I want to eat02:39, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thai volleyball biography stubs

[edit]

Australian politician stubs

[edit]

Sorted to below oversized but can do with some more, the following is viable though some of these articles are in already existing stub cats due to the nature of the party:

Waacstats (talk) 19:26, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sao Paulo State geography stubs

[edit]

Category is over 700, we don't have perm cats for any smaller areas but List of municipalities in São Paulo gives a list of municipalities by Intermediate Regions also known as Mesoregions. I propose we use these to split the category

Waacstats (talk) 19:26, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

La Paz department (Bolivia) geos

[edit]

Over 700 articles, the next down level is for provinces so I propose we split by these. There are no perm cats so I can't say which if any will pass the 60 mark:

Waacstats (talk) 19:26, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Norwegian writers

[edit]

Oversized, according to petscan nearly 300 are novelists, I think that might be picking up incorrect categories but I propose the following:

Waacstats (talk) 19:26, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

American architects

[edit]

Category is significantly greater than 700 and could do with a trim. There doesn't seem to be any logical split through the sub-cats so I propose one of the old stand bys of century of birth along the lines of :

Waacstats (talk) 19:26, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

split of Canterbury archdeacons

[edit]

Category is closing in on 700 articles, a couple of individual Dioceses have enough articles for there own categories but I think it would be better to split by century of birth, giving us the following, unless there are a lot hiding the first two will be template only:

Waacstats (talk) 19:26, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Motorcycle manufacturers

[edit]

Motorcycle stubs is over 600 and could do with a trim, I propose the following category:

Waacstats (talk) 19:26, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Christian clergy

[edit]

Category was just over 600 and needs a good sort however the following appear viable and Ireland would already have some sub cats.

I would also like to propose that along with the existing Roman Catholic and Oriental Orthodox categories we add one for Anglican clergy

Waacstats (talk) 19:26, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy

[edit]

The following templates have surpassed the magical 60 mark and so are eligible for a category:

Waacstats (talk) 19:26, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

American painter stub categories

[edit]

Ammonite sub-stubs

[edit]

I propose breaking up Ammonite stubs into sub-templates/sub-cats:

- OpalYosutebitotalk』 『articles I want to eat03:16, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You might want to speak to WP:Paleo, I looked at this a month or so ago and they were looking at redoing the categorisation of articles. Waacstats (talk) 21:37, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I propose the creation of a new category; {{Thailand-singer-stub}} has over 60 transclusions - OpalYosutebitotalk』 『articles I want to eat21:12, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy support Waacstats (talk) 13:15, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Finnish Parliament member stubs

[edit]

Idk what to call this, but I found a bunch of members of the Parliament of Finland that are stubs (over 300 articles). What should it be called? I'm unsure of the name because I've never dealt with a stub type of this nature before... - OpalYosutebitotalk』 『articles I want to eat17:45, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

We have already splits by party, may be worth continueing that if possible first but if we do choose to go this way I would go

Waacstats (talk) 13:17, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

looking at it, a tidy up to existing categories should get this below 500 and I think a couple of by party splits may well be viable, I'll have a proper look later. Waacstats (talk) 13:47, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
How do the following look, each party has over 60 stubs and I feel there are still some unmarked stubs for each party, should take out 250 articles.

Splitting a huge film stub

[edit]

1910s drama film stubs is huge. An overwhelming majority of the transclusions are from American silent drama films; there are over 900 articles awaiting the new template {{1910s-US-drama-film-stub}} and subcategory 1910s American drama film stubs - OpalYosutebitotalk』 『articles I want to eat17:25, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

There should also be 1920s silent American drama film stubs ({{1920s-silent-US-drama-film-stub}}) for over 1000 articles - OpalYosutebitotalk』 『articles I want to eat18:44, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Support doen't do much to get rid of large categories but will help. Waacstats (talk) 13:15, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Even more French geography stubs because it's a running gag at this point

[edit]

All of these templates will have an associated category

Pyrénées-Atlantiques geography stubs
Charente geography stubs
Côtes-d'Armor geography stubs

- OpalYosutebitotalk』 『articles I want to eat14:59, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support obviously, there are a few small towns/villages that have small populations with similar names but I think we can ignore them Waacstats (talk) 13:14, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

deupmergers

[edit]

Templates over 60 so speedy propose the following

Waacstats (talk) 18:03, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good to me - OpalYosutebitotalk』 『articles I want to eat18:25, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Organic compound stubs

[edit]

Oversized category, not my area of expertise but the following look to be viable based on perm cats, there is some overlap but hopefully not too much, this should get it off the oversized list.

Waacstats (talk) 18:03, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good to me, but I'm not super fluent in this, either... - OpalYosutebitotalk』 『articles I want to eat20:07, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Poland athletics biographies

[edit]

We have another athletics category break the 600 mark, propose we split this like we have with other countries, by event:

Waacstats (talk) 18:03, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support; these athletics categories are thicc - OpalYosutebitotalk』 『articles I want to eat20:07, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
In that case, other athletic bio categories that should be split up like that include those for the Finnish, Spanish, Swedish, Australian and Chinese stubs - OpalYosutebitotalk』 『articles I want to eat18:56, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Painting stubs

[edit]

We have a split of painting stubs by century, some of these have already been split by decade, given the 17th and 16th century categories are over 600 I propose we atleast create the by decade templates for these, with categories for those that pass the 60 mark, as this would leave the 18th century still by century I propose we do the same for that category as well. So I propose the following for each decade of the three centuries:

Waacstats (talk) 18:03, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

BBC television shows

[edit]

Category has over 700 articles, I propose the following splits:

Names are taken from the perm cats, there may be some overlap but I don't think there will be too much. Waacstats (talk) 18:03, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Philippines tv shows

[edit]

Closing in on 700 articles, I propose a split by genre as such:

Waacstats (talk) 18:03, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

German tv shows

[edit]

US non-fiction tv shows

[edit]

Comfortably in the mid 600 article range and badly categorised by the looks of things. I propose a split of the documentaries and movve them up a level as they are not categorized this way in the perm cats so:

We also need a consensus on if we go with 'United States blah' or 'American' blah in the parent cat, but I assume this will need to go to CFD Waacstats (talk) 18:03, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The parent categories should be "American" and the templates should be "US" (not "United States", but abbreviated to "US") - OpalYosutebitotalk』 『articles I want to eat16:16, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Should these be titled "show" instead of "series"? Her Pegship (?) 22:53, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think so, but this would benefit from more user input - OpalYosutebitotalk』 『articles I want to eat17:52, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
As there is no -geo- stub for Macon, Georgia, I think we should go ahead without the FR disambig. Her Pegship (?) 22:43, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

From the Tajikistan geography stubs category. I found over 120 articles that should get this new template, but I don't know what it should be called, since the name of the district is so long. Maybe {{DRS-geo-stub}}? - OpalYosutebitotalk』 『articles I want to eat17:31, 11 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support the idea, the best I can come up with is either {{RepublicanSubordination-geo-stub}} or we have seperate templates for each of the individual districts, hopfully someone else has a better idea. Waacstats (talk) 06:13, 12 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The main article would be Districts under Central Government Jurisdiction, so would the template be called {{DCGJ-geo-stub}}? - OpalYosutebitotalk』 『articles I want to eat17:12, 16 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Honestly, I would use upmerged templates for specific districts of Tajikistan, as previously done, rather than trying to stub by region. Category:Tajikistan geography stubs has only 230 articles, which isn't oversized, really. Her Pegship (?) 22:39, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
