The definition of what belongs in this category has been problematic to editors, including myself, in the past, I am opening this Section in the hopes that editors will chime in as to what they feel belongs in this category, and what they feel do not. This may lead to changing the current and future use of this category, clarifications of its description, or nothing at all, other then a clear statement here.
Currently we have the following definitions listed:
One of the policies to be concered with here is Wikipedia is not a dictionary, noting:
Wikipedia is not a dictionary, or a usage or jargon guide. If you're interested in working on a wiki dictionary, check out our sister project Wiktionary. Wikipedia articles are not:
So the question is, What is a vocab stub for?
One of the driving forces of the Stub Sorting Project is to attract editors to short articles in fields they are experts in, with the intention of getting these stubs to blossom to full articles.
Please comment below as to the best use of this category. Thank you! xaosflux Talk/ CVU 01:03, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
Read Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Kybernetès, Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Criteria/Archive9#.7B.7Bvocab-stub.7D.7D, and Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Brownie points for what this stub category is for. Uncle G 13:31, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
I think {{
vocab-stub}} should be restricted to articles that discuss the word rather than it's referent. e.g. etymology, origins, used and connotations etc.
Brownie points and
SNAFU are good examples of this.

There is litte definition as to what the usefulnes, if any, of this category is; benig a temporary holding area for stubs waiting to be moved to wikitionary (paraphrase) is pointless, we already have a categor for that Category:Move_to_Wiktionary, why duplicate efforts here? xaosflux Talk/ CVU 03:36, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
How would you (Wikipedians) like me to proceed? I can wholesale copy this category once, but then what? I'm sure you don't want me to remove {{ vocab-stub}} from each entry, right? Nor would you want me to remove the {{ move to wiktionary}} template from the category page, correct?
My main concern is that I do not wish to copy (nor attempt to copy) the same entries over and over again. Some advice would be appreciated. -- Connel MacKenzie - wikt 19:28, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
