Unproposed, very badly formatted, very badly named stub template linking into very badly named stub category - which, by its title, appears to either collect stubs about Wa, WA, or WikiAfrica. Presumably its purpose is to collect stub types about Africa (for which there is already a very well-formed stub-tree) for a subject-specific WikiProject which has failed to read the instructions about the difference between stub templates and assessment banners. Delete. Grutness...wha? 03:26, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- It is not just a stub-template to mark stubs in main namespace, and it is not WikiProject assessment banner for adding to talkpages of related articles. Maybe it is something like {{AFC submission}} in Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation, but {{WA stub}} is only for marking, not for requests or submissions. It is a special template for marking stubs of newcomers in WikiAfrica Project, and it would be used only in WP namespace to collect such stubs in Category:WikiAfrica Stubs. In this template there would be a short instruction how newcomer can get help of project's members, and project's members would help newcomers to write an appropriate article for main namespace (wikification, sources, references, style, etc.), so it is planned to use bot to find and mark by this template all stubs in prefix WP:WikiAfrica/Stubs. If it is not recommended to use "stub" in template name, maybe it can be renamed into another name? Dmitry89 (talk) 09:46, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- If the name's changed so as not to include "stub" and it is in genuine use for something, I don't see a problem. Maybe something like {{WA new}} and Category:WikiAfrica new articles? Grutness...wha? 01:07, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Ok. Let it be {{WA new}} and Category:WikiAfrica new articles. Please rename template and delete redirects. Category also can be deleted, a I'll create new one after replacing name of category in template. Dmitry89 (talk) 12:40, 1 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- OK - thanks for agreeing! :) Grutness...wha? 01:51, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- US University stubs are still in the process of being sorted by state. This is now in use on three articles and will probably have more soon. Grutness...wha? 03:32, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- A quick sort-through of the NE-US university stubs bumped it up to 13 stubs. Grutness...wha? 03:42, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
