Proposals, January 2020
Subcats of Category:Nepal geography stubs
- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed creation of the stub template and/or category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the template's or category's talk page (if any). No further edits should be made to this section.
The result of the debate was create & re-sort as proposed.
We should phase out zone subcats and phase in Province subcats. More specific district subcats for each province are also possible. However, the status of zones is not clear and they are no longer used by sources, instead preferring provinces and districts when discussing topics. I created the subcat for Sudurpashchim and only navigating from there did I realise that it ought to have been proposed here first. Similar subcat for Karnali Pradesh already exists and is populated, so there may already be a consensus for this proposal. Just making sure. Usedtobecool ☎️ 13:41, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
- Ideally, we should have district cats inside province cats inside country cat. I doubt we'll need any cats more specific than districts any time soon. Also, some zone cats can be added to their corresponding province cats but others can't and so articles in them would have to be resorted manually. Usedtobecool ☎️ 14:08, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
- I suggest we create {{Gandaki-geo-stub}} and {{Karnali-geo-stub}} for the two other provinces that have been officially named, followed by categories if they reach 60+ articles, then see how the stubs sort and whether the other provinces get named any time soon.

- Turns out the templates and categories for those two areas exist; I have nominated one category for renaming (Garnaki) and will try to find a source for determining which districts now belong in which provinces. Her Pegship (I'm listening) 20:05, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
- I learn so much about geography while stub sorting. ;P I have gone through the zones, provinces, and districts of Nepal and figured out which districts are now in which province, so the "zone"-geo-stub types need to be re-sorted. Won't that be fun. Some are fairly straightforward, as when all the districts in a zone have been reassigned to the same province. Some, not so much.

- If you want to see how it's all broken out, I made a list in my sandbox. I hope this makes even a little sense. Her Pegship (I'm listening) 18:43, 25 January 2020 (UTC)
- Does anyone have input on the nomenclature of the numbered province templates and categories? If not I will proceed as proposed. Her Pegship (I'm listening) 22:45, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
- Pegship, hello there! I had seen you move my post but I forgot to update my watchlist then, and then was on a wikibreak for more than a month. So, having been back and now available to work and collaborate on this, am I seeing your replies, although I had seen alerts of your CfDs all of which I agreed with. Thank you for already starting the work. I will go over the proposal and post a more in-subject reply after I've reviewed which of the proposals you have already implemented. Thanks again!

- Usedtobecool, welcome back, and any suggestions are welcome also! Her Pegship (I'm listening) 18:13, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
- Pegship, I was a little bit concerned by your suggestion above to re-sort Lumbini into Province No. 1. But going through your sandbox, everything seems to be in perfect order. Stellar work! Only suggestion I have, if you can call it that, is I rather like the template statement I have at
{{Karnali-geo-stub}}
. If there's nothing wrong with it, maybe, we could use that for the templates you created as well. Regarding nomenclature, I might have left ", Nepal" out as I don't think any other country would be crazy enough to name their provinces by numbers but I, as well, understand why appending ", Nepal" makes sense. Regards! Usedtobecool ☎️ 18:36, 21 February 2020 (UTC)- Excellent points. (I added "NP" to be unambiguous, but I agree with you about the numbers!) I can change the text of the new templates per your comment. Cheers, Her Pegship (I'm listening) 19:32, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
- And I'll try to lend a hand with the re-sorting. Cheers! Usedtobecool ☎️ 19:38, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
