Firearm manufacturer stubs
(Following the style of and that template)

Firearm-manufacturer-stub

Upmerge targets would be and. There probably aren't enough to reach 60, but on the off chance there is, the category would be.

 * Support; n.b. one of the parent cats is in the process of being renamed from to  to . Her Pegship (?) 06:08, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

Engraver stubs
I'd like to propose:
 * 1) Engraver-stub //
 * 2) France-engraver-stub //
 * 3) Italy-engraver-stub //
 * 4) UK-engraver-stub //

On a part count / estimate, there are roughly 60-90 possibles in each of the national cats, and slightly fewer in the over-cat. There is a partial overlap with printmaker-stub, but not all engravers are printmakers and vice versa, so I think there is room for both. However, I'd be grateful for any thoughts.

 * Support for Engraver-stub. Tentative support for the country ones if they make sense. Curbon7 (talk) 10:22, 23 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks - there are 87 definite French ones and 198 definite Italian ones, and I don't doubt that the UK figure will be similar. Ingratis (talk) 04:55, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Support per nom, and once created please change the wording for printmaker-stub, which currently includes engravers. Her Pegship (?) 23:57, 24 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks - no problem. To avoid confusion I'd like also to create Medallist-stub // to deal with those engravers who worked on medals and coins instead of prints. There may well not be 60 of these so it would be upmerged to Engraver-stubs. Ingratis (talk) 03:39, 25 February 2022 (UTC)

French dance bio stubs (pt 2)
Speedy proposal: There are now 68 templated stubs, so now proposing the creation of the category Ingratis (talk) 00:44, 19 February 2022 (UTC)

French dance bio stubs
At an estimate there are c. 50-60 stubs that would fit this. With apologies, in a fit of distraction I've already created the upmerged template France-dance-bio-stub (as opposed to "France-dancer-bio", as I want it also to cover choreographers and similar); no present need for the cat at the moment. Ingratis (talk) 18:14, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. Curbon7 (talk) 19:52, 15 February 2022 (UTC)

Taiwan album stubs
Created Taiwan-album-stub to tag a bunch of album stubs in and it already exceeded 90 transclusions after a few minutes and I'm not yet done tagging. Proposing stub category creation. Twoggo (talk) 23:13, 6 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Appears to be no objection, so I've created the category. Star cheers peaks news lost wars Talk to me 19:11, 14 February 2022 (UTC)

Telangana Rashtra Samithi politician stubs
The petscan shows around 45 articles that would benefit from this. The parent being. Most of the articles currently reside at An upmerged template would reside at Telangana-TRS-politician-stub and would feed into  until a category is approved. — DaxServer (talk · contribs) 15:08, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Support per nom. Be sure to peruse through the Telangana pol categories; often times with these Indian pol articles is they aren't stub-sorted and aren't categorized correctly. Since the difference is only 15, it is probably likely that those 15 articles are hiding somewhere in the category tree. Curbon7 (talk) 00:08, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Restructuring Weapon stubs
Based on

I need a break from sorting politicians, so I'm gonna do a mini-project that's considerably more fun, and is in pretty bad shape, so I might as well start there!

(Any of the ones I'm proposing will be in bold, otherwise it will be restructuring)


 * 1) Weapon-stub //
 * 2) Explosive-weapon-stub //  (additional parent would be
 * 3) Nuclear-weapon-stub //

 * I totally support the reorg as well as any upmerged templates you think would work (mind you, I know nothing about weaponry). I would hold off on creating new categories until the template use can be assessed. Her Pegship (?) 23:30, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes that is a given of course. For example, with the bows, eyeballing it, I'm skeptical that it'll get to the 60 required, so it's unlikely that'll get its own cat. Curbon7 (talk) 02:01, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
