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, April 2025

[edit]

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

NEW PROPOSALS

[edit]

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]

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]

The Germans have over 600 articles here so I propose the following split:

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

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]

Iowa buildings

[edit]

Extremely large category, too many counties to do all of them, I propose the following counties which appear to have enough articles for a category:

between these they should remove about 300 articles. By the way if anyone wants all 99 counties I have no objection to them creating them. Waacstats (talk) 18:03, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

rock song stubs

[edit]

The 2000s sub cat is oversiazed, we have split heavy metal songs out of its parent so propose doing the same with the larger subcats.

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

Ghanaian people stubs

[edit]

Was over 600 before a nice sort, none of the existing upmerged templates reached 60 however I would like to propose the following two categories with templates

I also see high value in the future for the following three upmerged templates

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

Italian 17th Century RC Bishops

[edit]

Category has become quiet large. I propose that we split the archbishops out into a separate category
