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
editImportant: 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:
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"
editA 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. Many templates qualifying for S2 are listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/To do/To create.
List speedy creation proposals in the same proposal listings as normal stub proposals below.
Proposals, July 2024
editPlease check how many articles qualify for a stub type before proposing it.
NEW PROPOSALS
editMalaysian football biography stubs subcategories
editSimilarly, I suggest 3 subcategories in order to help heavily reduce the backlog at Category:Malaysian football biography stubs:
- Template:Malaysia-footy-defender-stub / Category:Malaysian football defender stubs - 126
- Template:Malaysia-footy-forward-stub / Category:Malaysian football forward stubs - 62
- Template:Malaysia-footy-midfielder-stub / Category:Malaysian football midfielder stubs - 222
This would almost remove the backlog at this category. Thanks! --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 19:23, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
Indian football biography stubs subcategories
editHello again. In order to resolve the backlog at Category:Indian football biography stubs, I suggest creating 3 subcategories:
- Template:India-footy-defender-stub / Category:Indian football defender stubs - 140
- Template:India-footy-forward-stub / Category:Indian football forward stubs - 69
- Template:India-footy-midfielder-stub / Category:Indian football midfielder stubs - 138
Thanks! --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 19:14, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
Algerian football biography stubs subcategories
editHello there. I'm requesting 2 categories to resolve the backlog at Category:Algerian football biography stubs:
- Template:Algeria-women-footy-bio-stub has 61 usages. Therefore, Category:Algerian women's football biography stubs could be speedily created.
- I've also discovered there are 65 men's goalkeepers in this stub category. I suggest creating Template:Algeria-footy-goalkeeper-stub / Category:Algerian football goalkeeper stubs as well. Thank you! --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 19:02, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
