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:
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, January 2025
[edit]Please check how many articles qualify for a stub type before proposing it.
NEW PROPOSALS
[edit]Category:Cycloctenidae stubs
[edit]Proposing a category and template for Cycloctenidae stubs, since there are currently over 60 stubs that could use them. William Avery (talk) 19:36, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
Category:Desidae stubs
[edit]Proposing a category and template for Desidae stubs, since there are currently over 70 stubs that could use them. William Avery (talk) 19:36, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
Category:Orsolobidae stubs
[edit]Proposing a category and template for Orsolobidae stubs, since there are currently over 90 stubs that could use them. William Avery (talk) 19:33, 22 January 2025 (UTC)
Category:Poeciliidae stubs
[edit]Category:Rivulidae stubs
[edit]Category:Nothobranchiidae stubs
[edit]Category:Dolomedidae stubs
[edit]Proposing a category and template for Dolomedidae stubs, since there are currently over 20 stubs that could use them, as well as a further 108 articles to be created shortly that would fall under this category due to their taxonomic placement. Species in this family are generally a neglected group in Wikipedia and in general, hence the high number of redlinks. Mediocre.marsupial (talk) 02:07, 13 January 2025 (UTC)
- I suggest we wait for a category until more of those articles have been created, but I support creation of an upmerged template. Her Pegship (?) 20:26, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

This page is currently inactive and is retained for historical reference. Either the page is no longer relevant or consensus on its purpose has become unclear. To revive discussion, seek broader input via a forum such as the village pump. |
This WP:WSS subpage was for discoveries of stub templates not cleared by WikiProject Stub sorting which have been encountered on Wikipedia. It was closed down due to excessive bureaucracy and several issues that hadn't been addressed after six years. If you discover a stub that you feel should be deleted or merged, please discuss at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion. For other discussions, please start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Stub sorting.
