Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals/Archive/2012/September



Proposals, September 2012
Please check how many articles qualify for a stub type before proposing it.

If (after approval) you create a stub type, please be sure to add it to the list of stub types. This page will be archived in its entirety once all discussions have been closed; there is no need to move them to another page.

European sports stubs
Propose (corrected spelling per severo) primarily as a container category for the three European sports team stub categories which are currently direct children of {{cl|Europe stubs)), as well as as an upmerge target for any national sports stubs directly upmerging to their national category. (eg {{tl|Monaco-sports-venue-stub}}).

Also, for completeness, {{tl|Europe-sport-stub}} to add articles directly to the category - a quick glance shows there are two sports articles in {{cl|Europe stubs}} and another two in {{cl|Sports stubs}}, there are probably others scattered around. --Qetuth (talk) 04:26, 27 September 2012 (UTC)


 * We have countries at {{cl|Foo sport stubs}} so I propose the naming of . Container category for all European-level sport categories - the team categories, {{cl|European sportspeople stubs}}, {{cl|European football competition stubs}}, {{cl|European sports venue stubs}} and {{cl|Foo sport stubs}} for each country (perhaps there are others as well). I can see there being a need for the template as well for the small number of stubs. Severo{{sup|TC}} 07:33, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Hmm, it hadn't occured to me to make it a proper parent category for all those, but I like it. Good idea --Qetuth (talk) 14:26, 5 October 2012 (UTC)

Split of
Not very many genera in this subfamily, but several of the few that are here contain a number of species. Propose the following new templates and categories: Dawynn (talk) 10:06, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Calosoma-stub / - 167
 * Carabus-stub / - Over 800 species.  Over 200 already have articles (primarily stubs).
 * Cychropsis-stub - 34
 * Cychrus-stub / - 127  (Still in the oversized )
 * Support --Qetuth (talk) 10:02, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

Middle-earth stubs
In sorting the stub-class articles in WikiProject Fictional characters, I have noticed a lot of Middle-Earth character articles that are stubs. Some of them have been merged into character lists and just need their talk pages updated, but I see a need for one or more stub tags to better classify these articles.

does not currently have a category for stubs. Therefore I propose the creation of:
 * Middle-earth-stub or ME-stub. This would eventually link to once populated.
 * And since most of the affected articles are fictional characters, there should also be a ME-char-stub that directs to the same category initially, and maybe linked to once populated. Please let me know which stub names to go with, so that these stub articles can be better classified. Fortdj33 (talk) 13:51, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Support with changes. I would approve of a MiddleEarth-stub, as this is not really intended as a subcategory for an earth-stub, and ME-stub would be unclear (wouldn't want to confuse Middle Earth with Maine).  I would further suggest initially upmerging to .  For the characters, I would use MiddleEarth-char-stub, upmerging to, with a second upmerge (for the sake of keeping them together) to .

 * ✅. Thanks for the suggestions in changes of the stub names! So far, I am only through the F's alphabetically in sorting fictional characters articles, so I will wait until 60+ articles are using MiddleEarth-char-stub before creating . Fortdj33 (talk) 23:16, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

More speedy sports stubs
A bit of a mixed bag of sport stubs to start the month off, templates already exist and are used on 60+ articles should tidy a few of the bigger categories up for a bit. Waacstats (talk) 11:05, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Japan-golf-bio-stub -
 * SouthKorea-boxing-bio-stub -
 * PRChina-weightlifting-bio-stub -
 * Speedy again... --Qetuth (talk) 13:37, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
