Proposals, February 2009

Please check how many articles qualify for a stub type before proposing it.

If (after approval) you create a stub type, please be sure to add it to the list of stub types. This page will be archived in its entirety once all discussions have been closed; there is no need to move them to another page.

NEW PROPOSALS

Create as a parent category to house the stubs by country and perhaps any outstanding films which don't hit 60. Dr. Blofeld White cat 19:00, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Advise we organise Food and drink stubs a little better. Many of the soups are not even stub categorized. Dr. Blofeld White cat 18:51, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

by country templates

Plan to template the following by nationality, categories for any over 60

Waacstats (talk) 15:06, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Strong support -Especially schools. Dr. Blofeld White cat 18:49, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Templateing this by country, 2 questions remain.

How do we deal with people who won medals competing for Serbia and Montenegro? Do we classify them under serbia-,Montenegro- templates or do we have a seperate template.
How do we deal with people who won medals competing for the Unified team? Do we classift them as USSR-, their later nationality or with a UnifiedTeam- template? Waacstats (talk) 15:01, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Politics is the root of all problems huh? I'm not sure, perhaps administer both templates or use the perosns place of birth (either current day Serbia or Montenegro) to judge. you could always create templates to make it easier. Dr. Blofeld White cat 18:49, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

my first nomination here. There are about 30 article can fit into this type.--Chanaka L (talk) 17:58, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Categories require 60 articles minimum. I would support {{SriLanka-film-stub}} though. Dr. Blofeld White cat 18:00, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Right then, give us {{SriLanka-film-stub}}. Cheers!--Chanaka L (talk) 18:05, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Sure, I'm certain the others will have no objection. Perhaps you could stub 30 films and make the category viable? Dr. Blofeld White cat 18:41, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

If you want to go ahead and create the category if you intend to ensure there are at least 60 asap then I have no objections either. But that would probably require more input from the others so I should wait for that. Dr. Blofeld White cat 18:47, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Thank you Dr.Blofeld, about category; I usually don't write film articles. I wanted it for maintenance purposes. But in a year or so we'll have that much. Let's see then. Best of Luck!--Chanaka L (talk) 04:07, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Bot generated now has 3000 stubs. Any suggestions? Dr. Blofeld White cat 17:55, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Could split by main Category:Algae taxonomic classes but could probably still use further divisional split. Dr. Blofeld White cat 17:57, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

We now have over 5000. The two existing sub-categories appear to be classes, so lets start with that level and see how we do. Only problem is not all the classes have articles yet. Waacstats (talk) 15:14, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

A matter of time perhaps... Really we ought to contact the bot runner and get him to come to an agreement with stub sorting. Dr. Blofeld White cat 18:47, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

By-country templates for Euro-archaeology?

Category:European archaeology stubs is of moderate size, and a by-country template split looks desirable (a UK-archaeology-stub would easily pass threshold, as well). Problem is, of course, that we're dealing with ancient history in countries notorious for the changes in borders over that time. Personally, I'd favour the usual "current borders" principle, but if there are better ideas, voice 'em. I'd like to at least propose a {{UK-archaeology-stub}} / Category:United Kingdom archaeology stubs, and suggest debating on the rest. Grutness...wha? 01:06, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Permanent parent cat is split by curent nation so I see no problem in by country templates, categories for any that reach 60.Waacstats (talk) 11:00, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Support Me neither Waacs. Dr. Blofeld White cat 17:55, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
