upmerged template proposal
this stub template has only 16 stubs related to it how can it be made into an upmerged template — Preceding unsigned comment added by Massimo510 (talk • contribs) 05:39, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
 * This stub template has several problems: but why did you create it without first obtaining approval on this page? -- Red rose64 &#x1f339; (talk) 11:26, 31 May 2022 (UTC)
 * @Redrose64 I am sorry i am new to template creation and when i created the template i did not know i needed approval on here first Massimo510 (talk) 05:43, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

2010s-pop-rock-album-stub
2010s-pop-rock-album-stub has 74 transclusions and is a template at Category:2010s rock album stubs. In order to help reduce the backlog, I request a subcategory for 2010s pop rock album stubs as there's enough transclusions for an upmerge. Thanks! --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 22:42, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

Indian Television Channel stub + category
I request for creation of the stub type, and a category with the same name is also needed. Lists of television channels in India This article is a proof of the number of Indian TV channels and all the article must be grouped into a stub and category. It would be really useful if this stub type is created. Thanks for reviewing this request. Regards, ItcouldbepossibleTalk 11:17, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I see that there's already a template for India-tv-station-stub, attached to 37 articles and upmerged to ; a Petscan search for articles tagged with asbox templates (that is, stub templates) under turned up 57 articles, which includes those 37. If there's a WikiProject for Indian television, I recommend we de-upmerge the existing India-tv-station-stub and give it a category; if not, I suggest we wait until the template is used on 60 articles and then create the category. tl;dr I think the existing India-tv-station-stub is sufficient; oppose creation of India-tv-channel-stub.

 * @Pegship Sorry for this late reply. I had lost track of this.
 * Well, that category you pointed out, is basically, for 'all' indian television related stubs, which includes even the tv station stub too. That is why, india-tv-station-stub may have 37 articles, but since the category is a mix of the two, it gas 57 articles. There is no project for Indian television specifically. There is a wikiproject for television though. Thanks. ItcouldbepossibleTalk 14:47, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the reply. It's an "upmerged" template, meaning that it feeds into existing categories until it qualifies for its own. I checked how many articles are linked to the template (37, +20 more that could be linked), not in itself (278). Bottom line: we have a template already for TV stations in India; do we want to create a category? Her Pegship (?) 15:44, 30 May 2022 (UTC)
 * @Pegship Could we have a category like Category:Indian TV stations or Category:TV stations in India linked to the . Is that possible? Itcouldbepossible Talk 04:59, 1 June 2022 (UTC)
 * does exist; if a stub category for India-tv-station-stub were created, it would be a sub-category of that one. Stub templates are linked only to stub categories, for many reasons which I won't belabor here. Her Pegship (?) 14:39, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

Mexico-politician-NationalRegeneration-stub + redirect
Mexico-politician-NationalRegeneration-stub has 51 transclusions is at Category:Mexican politician stubs. I found that Mexico-politician-Morena-stub has 40 transclusions and redirects to the NationalRegeneration template. Would it be appropriate to replace the Morena template with the NationalRegeneration template or the other way around? The article name is Morena (political party), which is an abbreviation of National Regeneration Movement. If so, then it'd be enough transclusions for an upmerged template (51+40=91) at Mexican politician stubs and help reduce the stub backlog. Thanks! --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 01:03, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Imho, since "Movimiento Regeneración Nacional" redirects to "Morena (political party)" in article space, I'd support consolidation under Mexico-politician-Morena-stub and a redirect to it from Mexico-politician-NationalRegeneration-stub. Her Pegship (?) 17:23, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

NorthMacedonia politician stubs + 2 redirects
NorthMacedonia-politician-stub has 48 transclusions and is a template at Category:European politician stubs. I discovered that RMacedonia-politician-stub (16 transclusions) and Macedonia-politician-stub (26 transclusions) both redirect to NorthMacedonia-politician-stub. I was wondering if the RMacedonia and Macedonia templates should be replaced with the NorthMacedonia template. If so, there'd be enough translcusions for an upmerged template (48+16+26=88) at European politician stubs. Thought I should ask here first. Thanks! --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 18:29, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I believe "North Macedonia" is the current official name of the country; Republic of Macedonia was its name until 2019, and "Macedonia" refers to a region, not a country. Sooooo... I'm guessing it would be appropriate to replace RMacedonia-politician-stub and Macedonia-politician-stub on those articles (as proposed) and keep the redirects?

Guinea politician stubs
Guinea-politician-stub has 73 transclusions and is a template at Category:West African politician stubs. In order to help reduce the backlog at West African politician stubs, I propose making Guinea-politician-stub into a subcategory as there's enough to upmerge. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 18:16, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

South African politician stubs
So the two ways I could sort this cat is by region or party. While the cat size is 400, well over half of these are members of ANC, so it would kinda defeat the purpose to do an exclusively party sort, as this would leave the other smaller party pols and historical biographies unsorted in the big category, while also just splitting one large category into two large categories. So I'm proposing a regional split (luckily SA only has 9 provinces). This would allow all of this category to be further sorted (for example, this man who doesn't have a party but DOES have a constituency), while also leaving the door open for a further sort in the future by party list.


 * 1) EasternCape-politician-stub //
 * 2) FreeState-politician-stub //
 * 3) Gauteng-politician-stub //
 * 4) KwaZuluNatal-politician-stub //
 * 5) Limpopo-politician-stub //
 * 6) Mpumalanga-politician-stub //
 * 7) NorthWestZA-politician-stub //
 * 8) NorthernCape-politician-stub //
 * 9) WesternCape-politician-stub //

n.b. The use of ZA in number 7 is not a typo; as I followed as a baseline, ZA is the ISO code for the country.
