    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 ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› 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 ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› 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:

    List speedy creation proposals in the same proposal listings as normal stub proposals below.

    Exoristinae subcategories

    The result of the debate was create.

    Category:Exoristinae stubs is currently large (823 articles), and some subcategories can easily be made from it:

    Creating all three would bring the number in the Exoristinae category down to a more manageable 148 articles. Suntooooth, it/he (talk/contribs) 21:32, 6 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Very similar to the above - Category:Tachininae stubs is large (744 articles, with no articles sortable into its existing subcategories) and has some subcategories that can be made from it.

    Creating all of these subcategories would halve the size of the Tachininae category (from 744 to 369). Suntooooth, it/he (talk/contribs) 15:46, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Support per nom. Her Pegship (?) 19:05, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Would you recommend upmerging the Polideini one, or is 54 articles close enough to 60 that it can get its own subcategory? Suntooooth, it/he (talk/contribs) 22:56, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Pinging @Pegship: see the above :] (not sure if you're subscribed to this discussion) Suntooooth, it/he (talk/contribs) 18:11, 9 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Whoops, I missed that. I think it's close enough. Anyone else? Her Pegship (?) 18:26, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Splitting "Post" and "Philately"

    edit

    Hi. There is the ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Post and philately stubs, which includes two well-populated templates: {{Postal-stub}} and {{Philately-stub}}. I propose to rename the ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Post and philately stubsas‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Postal system stubs (including {{Postal-stub}}), and afterwards create the ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Philately stubs (including {{Philately-stub}}). Best, Fadesga (talk) 22:25, 30 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Numbers-wise, {{postal-stub}} is used on 105 articles and {{philately-stub}} on 411. So, support. Her Pegship (?) 18:00, 5 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Currently contains over 800 articles. If we split by region:

    I will come back with updated number per oblast. Her Pegship (?) 23:36, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, it looks like "per oblast" isn't going to yield sufficient articles for sub-cats. I propose we create these:

    I think that Category:Antigua and Barbuda association football stubs should be created due to the amount of footballers, football league seasons, and football managers from Antigua and Barbuda who have articles which are stubs.

    For better organization, I propose that Category:Philippine church stubs and Category:Philippine hospital stubs be created since several church and hospital articles are listed in Category:Philippine building and structure stubs. Sanglahi86 (talk) 18:10, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Allotherian stubs

    IMO it would be convenient to have a stub category for members of Allotheria, a large extinct group of mammaliaforms. Most of the relevant articles are listed on this template. —Trilletrollet [ Talk | Contribs ] 17:19, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Which stub template do they use at present? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 17:48, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    They mostly use Template:Jurassic-mammal-stuborTemplate:Cretaceous-mammal-stub, but those templates are very unspecific. —Trilletrollet [ Talk | Contribs ] 19:19, 6 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    I think the numbers don't really indicate a need for an Allotheria stub type - there are only 169 articles in both ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Jurassic mammal stubs and ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Cretaceous mammal stubs combined. Her Pegship (?) 22:43, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    Those two categories really shouldn't have been created in the first place, they're pretty useless. Also, they're not mutually exclusive with the proposed category. —Trilletrollet [ Talk | Contribs ] 10:18, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    And as far as I can tell, neither category was actually proposed here before creation. —Trilletrollet [ Talk | Contribs ] 10:23, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    User:Trilletrollet, if you want to replace the two existing templates with one for Allotheria, please propose those templates and categories for deletion at CFD. Her Pegship (?) 20:50, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    No, I don't think they should be deleted. I've mostly given up on this proposal anyways, since it clearly isn't going anywhere. —Trilletrollet [ Talk | Contribs ] 21:01, 3 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
