A high proportion of stub templates have embedded wikilinks which are either ordinary dictionary words (e.g [[history]] in <nowiki>{{Asia-hist-stub}})</nowiki>, or very low value in themselves (e.g. [[Africa]] in <nowiki>{{Africa-bio-stub}})</nowiki>, or is a technical term that's almost certainly already linked in the article itself (e.g. <nowiki>{{Lycaenidae-stub}}</nowiki>). It seems to me that the vast majority of links in stub templates add no value, so I plan to set about unlinking them. Any comments?

Are articles with little free text but long tables stubs or not?

I started cleaning the Wikipedia:Database reports/Long stubs and a bunch of the articles there are litte free text but lots of big tables articles, such as 2004–05 Florida Gators men's basketball team. I am not sure whether they are stubs (due to little free text) or not (due to their long and extensive tables). Thoughts? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 20:53, 2 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I would say not. They have significant amount of useful content. Rich Farmbrough, 02:31, 5 May 2010 (UTC).[reply]

Oppose; per my comment at the relevant discussion at MOS talk, this page has no useful style guidance and should be branded as an editing guideline. Christopher Parham (talk) 18:54, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Fine with me , remove from the MOS so Gnevin (talk) 19:55, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Not a style issue. -- Ϫ 09:43, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose: Per Chris, should simply be rebranded an editing guideline.—DCGeist (talk) 19:44, 25 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
