We have already split by position, and 3 of these categories (defender, midfielder, striker) are around 600 each. I propose we split by decade of birth as we have already done with the English. (Someone did say it was abit quite didn't they).Waacstats (talk) 21:38, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Someone's been creating articles for all of the stations on the Shanghai Metro; however, he hasn't been stubbing them. A cursory glance at Category:Shanghai Metro reveals that almost everything in there can probably be stubbed, which I've started doing. I think it's a viable stub template. Along those lines, since we now have stub templates for Beijing, Hong Kong, and Singapore's rapid transit systems, what about a parent category, Category:Asian rapid transit stubs, with template {{Asia-metro-stub}}? I suspect it would see use. --User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 19:33, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

I was doing some stubbing earlier and surprised to see this missing. I had to quickly blue link it to avoid people rmeoving the red link. I'll scout around and apply it, perhaps it may be viable for a category later?

I move for the creation of a Restoration-Movement-stub. Category:Restoration Movement contains 40+ names, including three U.S. presidents. The Restoration Movement, as you can read in the article of that name, was the result of efforts in Britain and America popularly associated with Barton Warren Stone, Thomas Campbell, and Alexander Campbell and today encompassing three major religious groups: Christian Churches and Churches of Christ, Churches of Christ, and Disciples of Christ. Further historical relationships involve the Christadelphians, and there are more tenuous connections, by way of Abner Jones to the United Church of Christ. Colleges and universities associated with the Restoration Movement include Texas Christian University, Pepperdine University, Milligan College, and more than 50 others; and the list goes on. Related categories (such as Disciples of Christ, American members of the Churches of Christ, British members of the Churches of Christ, etc.) connect to hundreds, maybe thousands, of articles. The Restoration Movement stub would become a type within the religion set of stubs. Rammer (talk) 14:08, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

I see several possible issues with this, though a couple of them are simple ones. Firstly, the name would better be {{RestorationMovement-stub}}, since it's not a subtype of any nonexistent Movement-stub. Secondly, you seem to be mixing two distinct groups of stubs which would normally be handled separately: a general stub and a bio-stub. As such, you'd be better with both a {{RestorationMovement-stub}} and a {{RestorationMovement-bio-stub}}.
Having said that, there are some more serious problems. Many of the names in the category Category:Restoration Movement wouldn't normally get a stub like this. People usually only get specific reli-stub types if their fame or notoriety is directly the result of their involvement in that faith. Thus, for example, Lyndon B. Johnson - whose article doesn't even mention his involvement in the Restoration Movement - wouldn't get such a stub template (assuming of course that his article was a stub) any more than John F. Kennedy would get a catholic-bio-stub. There is also a second major problem - there may be 40 articles in the category, but that in no way suggests that there are 40 stubs. In fact, a of a random sampling of 20 articles from the category, only three were stubs - which indicates there may be no more than a scant handful of articles which could use such a stub type.
A further problem is the actual name of the stub and - though not within the scope of this page - the parent category. The "Restoration Movement" as known in other countries is what is referred to in this category as "Restorationism", and is therefore not the same as what is being referred to by this category and proposed stub type - this is hinted at in the convoluted series of hatnotes in the article Restoration Movement and in the parent category of which it is the key article. The stub type would as a result be ambiguous in its scope if judged purely on its name - something we distinctly try to avoid. We'd therefore have a confusingly named template and stub category with limited use, currently covered, albeit on a coarser scale, by existing stub types. As such, I wouldn't favour the creation of such a stub type at this time, unless it can be shown that there are considerably more stubs that could use it, and some way can be found around the naming issues. Grutness...wha? 00:48, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
Grutness is quite astute and articulate at outpointing the problem. Does anyone have the solution? Rammer (talk) 15:41, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
Thanks - a nice way of saying "verbose" :) Grutness...wha? 00:03, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
  • Since the movement in question occurred in the U.S., if this type is necessary, how about US-Restoration-stub, or US-Restorationism-stub? Pegship (talk) 17:08, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
    • Not sure... isn't "Restoration" the name given to the post Civil War period of US history? Or am I confusing it with another term? Grutness...wha? 00:01, 22 April 2009 (UTC) Euh... that was the recostruction. US-RestorationMovement-stub or similar might work, but the problem of whether it's actually needed remains. Grutness...wha? 00:03, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
Actually there were earlier roots of the Restoration Movement in Great Britain, particularly Scotland. A separate strand of the RM thus grew up there although, as it developed, its early leaders were aware of the much more prodigious effort which developed in the United States. The Restoration Movement article would benefit from more attention to these early British roots. Barton Warren Stone had no personal background in the old country, but both Thomas Campbell and Alexander Campbell certainly did. A. Campbell even ventured back to Scotland to examine the work there and encourage its adherents. I go into these observations because creation of a US-RestorationMovement-stub may call for, by implication in the overall context, a UK-RestorationMovement-stub. I'm not sure that that's what we need, but I'm willing to think about it. Rammer (talk) 05:55, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
Very astute...now to the nuts & bolts. Would you please provide an actual count (not a ballpark estimate) of stub-sized articles which would demand this type? Thanks. Pegship (talk) 14:44, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
  • Update. CatScan shows only 13 items under 2000 bytes or fewer than 4 links, searching 3 levels down from Category:Restoration Movement. I think there's not a snowball's chance this template is necessary, although if Mr. Ramsey wishes he can create a Restoration Movement WikiProject and use a talk page project template to coordinate these. Oppose creation of Restoration Movement stub type at any name. Cheers, Pegship (talk) 22:15, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Category:Diptera stubs currently has over three thousand articles in it, tagged either with {{diptera-stub}} or with {{fly-stub}}, which redirects to diptera-stub. Surely this needs to be split in some way. However, I know almost nothing about flies — they're annoying, and frogs eat them, but that's rather irrelevant here :-) — so I haven't a clue how properly to split them.

Yeah it does become confusing if you start doing not by area. Major problem though I've found is that a lot of editors are actually willing to work on specific areas, we have many editors working in WikiProject Mountains, WIkiProject Lakes WikiProject Rivers, such stub tags may be useful for the project as a tool thats the only positive thing I see. A lot of editors might actually work through such articles according to their own geographical interests. Dr. Blofeld White cat 20:51, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

True, but that's exactly the reason wikiprojects have their own talk page templates - so they can keep track of and rate all articles relating to their projects. Also you get two problems if you divide things up by type of geographic feature: 1) towns dominate everything - over 75% of geo-stubs are towns and settlements; 2) you end up with an "everything else" category, sinced not everything can be comfortably pigeonholed as a specific type of feature (unless you want, say, mudpool-stub or nunatak-stub). The other reason we started using by-location rather than by-feature type is that it's far more common that a casual editor will know more about their local area than about one type of feature worldwide. Grutness...wha? 23:39, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

I was recently surprised we don't have it. CatScan gives close to thirty articles, and I am sure some others would be appropriate as well.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 07:00, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

  • We don't have it because it's covered by other stubs for the most part - specifically various jewish-related stub types and WWII-stub. A specific one for the Holocaust might not be a bad idea, however, though I'd say it should be run past the specific WikiProjects concerned, given the thorny and specific nature of the stubs already relating to Jewish subjects. It would be well worth announcing this proposal at both Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Judaism and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Jewish history. Note too that, given the name of the proposed stub, it wouldn't automatically include biographical articles (you'd need a holocaust-bio-stub for that), so the numbers mayy be a little less than you might suspect.

under used, could probably be pushed over 800, the following would be viable without taking the relevent sport cat below 60.

I think we need stub types to help break down the 550 or so paleontology stub articles. There are a lot of articles on prehistoric molluscs, echinoderms and plants. Any objections for me creating those stub types? Abyssal (talk) 15:08, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Would normally suggest splitting out the stations but we seem to have already split out one state and one city so propose following that with

-possibly either state or city for the last two pairs as I don't think that both are individually viable. Waacstats (talk) 15:03, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

There are well over 60 stubs that cover relationships between countries.. See Category:Politics Stubs. This would be {{poli-ir-stub}}. Alison9 (talk) 01:08, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Certainly not the "poli-ir" typer (politics of Ireland?), but I'm a little unhappy with WS's alternative as well. The singular form of "relations" in this sense is "relations", so it should be {{Internationalrelations-stub}} / Category:International relations stubs.
I am, however, also a little concerned by the scope - I think a {{Foreignrelations-stub}} / Category:Foreign relations stubs might be more useful, since many things covered by international relations are already covered by separate stubs ({{diplomat-stub}}, {{UN-stub}}, {{EU-stub}}, {{Int-org-stub}}, {{International-law-stub}}, {{International-dev-stub}}, {{International-trade-stub}}, etc).
The other option would be to make it Category:International relations stubs and have the existing types as subtypes of it. (Note too that I'm taking {{Int-org-stub}} to SFD for renaming) Grutness...wha? 00:03, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
Since the stubs I'm proposing to place in this category are all about country to country relations, I think {{Foreignrelations-stub}}. Okay? Alison9 (talk) 20:40, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
Sounds good to me. Grutness...wha? 23:10, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
