[edit] Put it on the list!!!!

>grr< I was afraid this would happen. In the onslaught of template creation over the last couple of months, hardly anyone (I'm being kind here) has been updating the stub list. Even for an upmerged template, you should add the item to the list when it's created. Please do your part on follow-through and put templates and/or categories on the list. >grr<. </rant> Love, Mommy Her Pegship (tis herself) 21:28, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Why not get a bot to do it? It really shouldn't be difficult to search for all templates ending in -stub and order them according to their category tree. Skomorokh 16:57, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

I wish it were that easy. I don't think the list I'm thinking of can be updated that way; if anyone else has another idea, please feel free to act on it. Pegship (talk) 22:02, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Re Sixers

Can someone either assist or take over making a "Sixers Review" stub (It is included in the list of literary magazine). I tried and did something wrong... it got deleted... I'm new at the this. Sorry.)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.229.185.202 (talk) 16:43, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

This project is for creating stub templates and categories and sorting stub articles, not for creating the articles themselves. I'd suggest trying Wikipedia:Articles for creation. Grutness...wha? 23:11, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Wałcz-geo-stub

I hope this is the right place but per this discussion, Template:Wałcz-geo-stub I guess was voted to be created but never was. Does that mean it wasn't meant to be created or what? Should I proposal it again? -- Ricky81682 (talk) 10:26, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

That just means no one has gotten round to it yet. Go ahead and create. Pegship (talk) 16:25, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

[edit] lang stubs

moved from WP:WSS/P

Articles tagged with {{AustroAsiatic-lang-stub}} show up in the Language Stubs category rather than in the Austro-Asiatic language stubs cat. I've tried fiddling with it, but I don't know what's wrong. I'd started going through all the lang-stub articles to sub-cat them, but it's a waste of time if I'll just have to do it again because of this. kwami (talk) 09:06, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Server lag. Mind you, since that stub template hasn't reached the required threshold for a separate Cat:Austro-Asiatic language stubs, and no such category was proposed, why did you create one? Grutness...wha? 09:28, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

I didn't. It was already there, listed with the lang stub-tagged articles. I merely reified the category it linked to. kwami (talk) 09:32, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

I moved 200 articles to sub-cats. Once the AA template kicks in (I guess it took me starting the category to activate the template?), about another fifty should be removed. kwami (talk) 12:19, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, I misread that above. The category hadn't reached the required threshold? I have no idea what you're talking about. I wanted to prune the main template by using the dedicated sub-templates, and there was already one there for AA--used on dozens of articles--so I used it on the rest of the AA langs. If the links show up on the main page, we can't tell which stubs are properly tagged until we open them all up, which is a waste of time. Some of the pa- and na- articles have been sitting there for years without being properly tagged, so it looked like it needed cleaning up. kwami (talk) 18:13, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Read WP:STUBS, and/or the instructionss at the top of WP:WSS/P. Stub templates are deliberately left upmerged in more general categories until they have enough articles (60) using them for their own categories. Then those categories are proposed at WP:WSS/P. In this case, the template was deliberately upmerged, and there was no proposal for a separate category. Grutness...wha? 21:46, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types/Leisure

Hi, I'm trying to figure out a stub for Fire ring, which has had {{stub}} on it for a week or so. It just strikes me as odd that, while there are some specific (and very specific) game stubs, there's no {{Leisure-stub}} or {{Recreation-stub}}. {{Outdoor-recreation-stub}} might be good for this specific article. But I don't have a bunch of example leisure or recreation stub articles, it just seems like most other general categories have a parent stub, and this category doesn't. Dave Smith (talk) 21:37, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm sure there's been some suggestion of a stub type for outdoor pursuits in the past (on this page, IIRC, but it would need a search through the archives), and it's probably a reasonable idea for a template at least. Time to officially propose one at WP:WSS/P? I'd favour {{Bushcraft-stub}} for this one, but don't know whether that's a worldwide term or specific to Australia and New Zealand. A generic leisure-stub may be a good idea, though. Grutness...wha? 00:01, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

How are you even suppposed to propose a stub?! I can't find anywhere to type it..... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fffgg (talk • contribs) 20:41, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Go to this page's project page (Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals). Find the current month header - at the top of that is a section marked "NEW PROPOSALS". Click on the edit link for that section and type in your new proposal. Grutness...wha? 23:18, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

??? i can't find the edit link for that!!!Fffgg (talk) 19:03, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Try this. Cheers, Pegship (talk) 21:19, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

THANKS!!!!!!!!!Fffgg (talk) 16:33, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Forum query

I have a proposal to standardise stub templates. Where should I propose this? Skomorokh 16:55, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk: WikiProject Stub sorting would probably be best - but be warned, such proposals have been made in the past, and don't necessarily go down well. Stub templates are deliberately not standardised, since things which work best for some can be extremely problematic with others (e.g., flags work well as icons for nation-specific templates, but have caused edit-warring at various Cyprus-related stub templates). The asbox discussions of a few months back were the last attempt to standardise. Grutness...wha? 23:45, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Cool, thanks for the pointer. Skomorokh 00:11, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

I was going to propose what essentially is already in existence as {{asbox}}. Having read the talkpage, there would not seem to be any insurmountable objections, but it would take a group of interested and technically-adept editors and perhaps a centralised discussion to implement.
