[edit] Category:Stubs

The {{stub}} template places articles in Cat:stubs.
This category should be routinely cleared to prevent a backlog.
There are currently 4 articles in this category.

[edit] Vetting of unlisted templates

The conversion of templates to asbox has uncovered over 7000 stub templates which are not listed on the official stub lists. These need to be checked: if they are approved, they should be listed; iof they are not, then need to be assessed at either WP:WSS/D or WP:SFD. Many of the unapproved ones will need renaming to conform with stub standards. A full list of these 7000+ templates can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Templates to vet and its subpages.
