Proposing new stub types – procedure
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
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"
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, March 2025
Please check how many articles qualify for a stub type before proposing it.
NEW PROPOSALS
Category:Nepal road stubs
{{Nepal-road-stub}} has over 60 transclusions - OpalYosutebito (talk) 08:16, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
Category:Perm Krai river stubs
See here for the full list of pages (approx. 120 of them); these use {{PermKrai-geo-stub}} and {{Russia-river-stub}}, whose categories are a bit large... - OpalYosutebito (talk) 20:28, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
- Support keeps them off the list. Waacstats (talk) 18:21, 19 March 2025 (UTC)
Category:Ormož geography stubs
{{Ormož-geo-stub}} has 60 transclusions - OpalYosutebito (talk) 17:39, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
- Support matches other subcat in format. Waacstats (talk) 18:23, 19 March 2025 (UTC)
Category:Kaduna State geography stubs
{{Kaduna-geo-stub}} has 60 transclusions - OpalYosutebito (talk) 03:38, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
- Support again matches all the other State level categories. Waacstats (talk) 18:26, 19 March 2025 (UTC)
Category:Northern Mindanao geography stubs
{{NMindanao-geo-stub}} has over 60 transclusions - OpalYosutebito (talk) 03:34, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
- Support first look at the parent I thought what a mess, some are Regions, some are not, but then looked at the parent category and that is the mess we have to follow and this continues that (in the tidiest way possible). Waacstats (talk) 18:31, 19 March 2025 (UTC)
Category:Zambian politician stubs
{{Zambia-politician-stub}} has 78 transclusions - OpalYosutebito (talk) 03:32, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
- Support as long as you dont mind me hijacking this with a suggestion for the Botswana politician stubs which is even large at 82 ( and dont forget on the Zambians we have an used mayor template). Waacstats (talk) 18:35, 19 March 2025 (UTC)
- I'll propose that one too - OpalYosutebito (talk) 13:55, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
Novo Goražde geography stubs
{{NovoGoražde-geo-stub}} has 63 transclusions, and its parent category looks pretty big to me... - OpalYosutebito (talk) 03:24, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
- Support looks good Waacstats (talk) 18:47, 19 March 2025 (UTC)
1940s American film stubs
340 of these are also under comedy films, plenty for a category even allowing for some false positives, this wont clear it off the oversized list but would make a good start
Waacstats (talk) 20:00, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
1950s American film stubs
120 of these are also under comedy films, plenty for a category even allowing for some false positives, this should clear it off the oversized list or at least make a good start, depending on how many false positives there are.

Canada island stubs
bubbling under at over 780 stubs. Propose splitting this by province, I believe the Nunavut subcats and British Columbia will probably take the vast majority of these and leave the parent around 80 but in case any other province reaches 60 I will propose all categories and templates but categories only to be created if the templates pass 60.
- Alberta island stubs {{Alberta-island-stub}}
- British Columbia island stubs {{BritishColumbia-island-stub}}
- Manitoba island stubs {{Manitoba-island-stub}}
- New Brunswick island stubs {{NewBrunswick-island-stub}}
- Newfoundland and Labrador island stubs {{Newfoundland-island-stub}}
- Northwest Territories island stubs {{NorthwestTerritories-island-stub}}
- Nova Scotia island stubs {{NovaScotia-island-stub}}
- Nunavut island stubs {{Nunavut-island-stub}}
- Ontario island stubs {{Ontario-island-stub}}
- PrinceEdwardIsland island stubs {{PrinceEdwardIsland-island-stub}} - any better ideas for the category name, if we need it as perm cat only has three articles
- Quebec island stubs {{Quebec-island-stub}}
- Saskatchewan island stubs {{Saskatchewan-island-stub}}
- Yukon island stubs {{Yukon-island-stub}}
Waacstats (talk) 20:00, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
- Maybe try "PEI-island-stub"? Or "PrinceEdward-island-stub"? - OpalYosutebito (talk) 20:09, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
- I was thinking more of the category m=name than the template name, but looking at it that might not be a problem. Waacstats (talk) 18:48, 19 March 2025 (UTC)
- Until we need to form the category name, I think {{PrinceEdwardIsland-island-stub}} would be fine; it corresponds to other PEI geo stub names.Her Pegship (?) 19:43, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
- I was thinking more of the category m=name than the template name, but looking at it that might not be a problem. Waacstats (talk) 18:48, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

A tidy up of sports teams
A number of countries have enough articles tagged foo-sport-stub and bar-team-stub to make the foo-sport-team-stub and category viable add to that existing potential subcats like footyclub, waterpolo-team etc
- German sports team stubs {{Germany-sports-team-stub}}
- Russian sports team stubs {{Russia-sports-team-stub}}

The following template exists and is passed 60:
- Switzerland-sports-team-stub}}
The following countries have at least 40 articles and for the sake of helping to count in the future I propse the following templates
Waacstats (talk) 20:00, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
- Support templates, categories if the numbers merit; btw the Swiss template is formed as {{Switzerland-sport-team-stub}} as a result of a recent debate on "sports" v. "sport", so I suggest we follow suit in these. Her Pegship (?) 19:49, 20 March 2025 (UTC)
- good catch on the sport/sports. Waacstats (talk) 15:39, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

- Support per nom. Her Pegship (?) 21:12, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
Handball stubs
59 of these articles are for national federations, by the time we add the existing clubs category as a potential subcat (in the permcats it comes under handball directly and under handball organisations) we should be sizeable enough to propose the following:

16th-century English MPs
Significantly oversized, we already have two sub cats basaed on which parliament they sat in , propose continuing this with a few more, the names are based on the existing sub cats categories and the permenant categories.If anyone can come up with better names for the 1953 and 1954 categories as I think these are a bit of a mess as I have propsed them:

- Support but I have no ideas about naming those cats (I assume you mean 1553 and 1554). Anyone? Her Pegship (?) 21:10, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
- I'm not sure either... - OpalYosutebito (talk) 21:11, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
- Doh, yes 1553 and 1554, at least I got then right in the categories, might go with what we have here and hope those categories aren't viable.Waacstats (talk) 21:27, 16 March 2025 (UTC)
