WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types index
Unproposed fork of WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types that only serves to increase the work of the Stub-sorting WikiProject. It's hard enough for us to keep track of the huge number of stub types there are and surreptitious additions to WP:WSS/ST, without having to do that on two separate pages. Delete. Grutness...wha?  21:48, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Being the forker I tend to favor keeping this page, but OTOH I can see the problem. I used a short perl script (included as a comment in the page) to generate the page contents from the official page, but of course someone would have to do that regularly. The problem with the official page is that it is way too big to be truly useful. I would be happy to discuss other possibilities. Han-Kwang 22:03, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * The current page may be big, but it is used effectively by the WikiProject's 120-odd members with few problems. Also, the mere fact that it is more combersome makes it less likely that someone will sneak in a couple of new stub types without anyone noticing. Grutness...wha?  22:25, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I find it an interesting approach to deliberately design pages to deter other editors. Han-Kwang 22:39, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * It is designed to deter editing by editors from outside the WikiProject, since editors from outside the WikiProject shouldn't be editing the page. The reasons for this are clearly spelt out at the top of the page. It isn't designed to deter its use as a reference by other editors, however. Grutness...wha?  23:11, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Unproposed fork that messes up a system that works well. WP:WSS has rejected duplicate lists in the past, I don't believe this situation has changed. Valentinian (talk) / (contribs) 22:23, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Just took a further look. This list presumes that template names and category names are identical which is often not (completely) the case. Has no links which will make it very very hard to maintain. I can not see any possible way that this list will not simply mean a lot more work without apparent benefit. Vote changed to Strong delete per nom. Valentinian (talk) / (contribs) 22:29, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
