for anything related to environmental issues. It would be suitable for articles like minister of the environment or ecolabel or toxic waste. It may be very wide in its use but then why not use many stub categories for the same article? e.g. toxic waste is already industry stubbed but the environ-stub would equally suitable. BedrupsBaneman 30 May 2005 15:25 GMT
I think there are a lot of these already, and Wikipedia:schools encourages people to create school district articles for any school that doesn't have one. Apparently there are over 1,100 school districts in California alone. Kappa 04:31, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Is it worth splitting school-stub by making separate US and UK subcategories? I doubt anyone who knows the US school system will be able to say much about UK schools or vice versa, and I'd say that each of these two countries accounts for 30-40% of the school stubs. Grutness... wha? 04:32, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Another further subdivision of {{ astro-stub}}. It would be for individual galaxies, galaxy clusters, characteristics of galaxies, etc., which make up at least 100 and probably many more of those in {{ astro-stub}}. A2Kafir 03:08, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Not sure where to mention this. The Brazil stub template is completely empty, no text or flag as with the other country stubs. I assume I can just go add the text using the boilerplate from the other country stubs? If not, what? SeventyThree 23:29, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Whilst going through the list of {{ stub}}s, I found the article, lipstick and I have no idea where to put it. Perhaps a {{ makeup-stub}} is in order.
From browsing the People stubs category, many such people aren't sorted because they don't fit elsewhere. This could be a single template and category for now, one template name redirecting to the other. -- Joy [shallot] 16:33, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
We seem to have a number of physicians and other medicine workers with articles. -- Joy [shallot] 16:57, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I created it, and redirects at {{ physician-stub}}, {{ nurse-stub}} and {{ healer-stub}}. -- Joy [shallot] 19:51, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I reckon there should be a Turkey stub because there are many other articles apart from Turkey-geo stubs. - Erebus555... natter at me
The cpd stands for compound. These two stubs would help take some of the pressure off {{ chem-stub}} (currently over 1000 stubs). At a rough estimate, I would say 200 articles for the former and 300 for the latter. The image from {{ chem-stub}} could be retained. Physchim62 01:27, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
{{ Inorganic-compound-stub}} and {{ organic-compound-stub}} now created. Physchim62 14:37, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
This is for Category:Operetta and WikiProject Operetta. Most of the stubs will come from current opera-stubs. Opera-stubs are 161 and growing. Hopefully by creating the operetta stub, more people will get involved in writing articles. -- DrG 20:28, 2005 Jun 14 (UTC)
There are 700+ game stubs ATM; At a quick glance I think about a quarter are board games. Card-game-stubs might be a good idea too, but I'll let someone else propose that (and populate it!) Percy Snoodle 11:52, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Forgot to mention - Chess-stubs would become a subcategory of Board-game-stubs, which in turn would be a subcategory of Game-stubs. Percy Snoodle 11:53, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
As a redirect to, or rename of, {{ geol-stub}}. Would a rename need to go through SFD? -- TheParanoidOne 11:19, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Done. Geol-stub is now a redirect to geology-stub (I'd suggest that it should be a permanent redirect,. too). Grutness... wha? 02:21, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
There are, in that the heavily used template becomes the redirect so requires a double call-up on each article that it is on... other than that, though, I must admit I have no idea. {{ geol-stub}} wasn't a hugely heavily used template though (about 450 articles). I'd have thought twice if it was sonething like bio-stub. Grutness... wha? 12:15, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Found: template and category for Canada politics stubs
Created: 20 April 2005
Creator: User:The_Tom
I've added this to Wikipedia:WikiProject_Stub_sorting/Stub_types
Courtland 11:27, 2005 May 13 (UTC)
This is a category without template; I've added this to the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Stub_sorting/Stub_types page. Courtland 10:00, 2005 May 14 (UTC)
I believe I've rectified this, as well as putting a paragraph in the introductory material, primarily for reference purposes. Courtland 18:53, 2005 May 17 (UTC)
Created by Steinsky, and well populated with things that should be marked {{ station-stub}}, {{ radio-stub}}, {{ tvseries-stub}}... cuts across the hierarchy very thoroughly, in fact. Grutness... wha? 14:13, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
Created on May 7 by User:Kmweber to be used with engineering stubs - already pretty much covered by industry-stub. Since then three stubs have been added to the category. Grutness... wha? 06:45, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
Newly created by User:Pouya. Only two articles at present, but likely to get plenty more. Don't see too many problems with this one. Grutness... wha? 01:38, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
Newly created by User:Fingers-of-Pyrex and User:Oven Fresh respectively. Both should be well-populated, although I see a problem with the first opne, since people who don't know may well put actor-stubs in there. I suspect it needs tweaking a little to avoid that happening. Grutness... wha? 08:48, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
I was about to propose this one, and was surprised that it was already there. It's a recent creation, and I think it will be quite useful. A2Kafir 20:22, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
{{ Nepal-stub}} has just appeared on the Stub type list - as a redlink. Apparently it (whatever it is) is on one article. The listing was put there by User: Common Man, whose user contribs list no templates. Not sure exactly what's going on with this, but I've asked him to answer a few questions relating to this one here - hopefully we'll hear from himsoon... Grutness... wha? 02:16, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
I apologize if I've caused you any problem; I don't know what templates are. I just found (through the random page feature) this page about Osho tapoban and when I looked in the stub list for the right stub I noticed that the Asia section does not have an entry for Nepal. I think it should, and I wanted to help, so I created one. Sorry again, and feel free to do whatever you want with the stub and the page. Common Man 04:36, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
This has apparently been around for about a month. Looks like it may be of use. -- Allen3 talk 18:11, May 25, 2005 (UTC)
Just discovered that {{ netball-stub}} has been added to the list at WP:WSS/ST. Fits in with the hierarchy and naming standards, but I doubt it will get more than 20 or 30 stubs, if that. Grutness... wha? 10:09, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
Sigh. there are currently only 26 Malta geography stubs, but that didn't deter the creation of this template. I added a category to it (it didn't have one - sigh again). Grutness... wha? 08:34, 30 May 2005 (UTC)
I note that someone (who by the looks of it knows about linguistics) has split Language stub into four subcategories. Waaay beyond my expertise to know about this, so I'll pass on other comments, other than to say that they're all made with lower-case letters for proper nouns... Grutness... wha? 00:17, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Created a month ago - it had three stubs in it, two of which were geo-stubs. The name fits into the hierarchy nicely, but I doubt it will get the necessary 60+ stubs in it! Grutness... wha? 04:24, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I would like to see a Botany stub to get many of those articles out of the general Biosci-stub cat (which is getting very large). It would make them easier to find so I can work on them and de-stub them. What do I need to do to make this new stub category? -- DanielCD 21:03, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Nevermind, there's already one, it was just well-hidden. Now how do I get a cute lil' icon put in? -- DanielCD 21:09, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Found: template and category for stubs related to people from Fiji
Created: 5 May 2005
Creator: David Cannon
I've added this to the Stub types listing. The category was created with out boilerplate, so I added that. Currently the category has 21 people in it.
Courtland 02:04, 2005 Jun 5 (UTC)
Lousy name... guess before I tell you. Motor vehicles? No. Movies? No. The Maldives! Currently has eight stubs, and I'd doubt it could get near 100. Grutness... wha? 08:53, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
sg-stub was created before this WikiProject began, and is one that we haven't yet managed to get round to renaming (note that singapore-stub does the same job), although our naming guidelines page lists it as a poor choice of name. As to the rest of the points, I've replied on your user talk page already, but - briefly - IRC was not a good place to ask, and there are far easier ways to alert other Maldivians than by creating a stub template. Grutness... wha? 09:34, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
This stub is for webcomics. Examples are in these two articles, and some websites. pockethouse is a website with multiple comics. bob and george is a video game based webcomic that has been running for over five years. VG Cats is a webcomic based on wideo games as well. Sluggy Freelance is credited as the first webcomic, and has been running for eight years. Those are some examples, one might find some more.
This one was debated briefly a couple of months ago with no overall decision, but it's been created anyway, and seems fairly well populated (30-40 stubs). The irony of course, given the subject, is that it's been categorised perfectly and fits neatly into the hierarchy of stub categories. Grutness... wha? 01:41, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I found it while sorting bio-stubs, and it currently has about 40 stubs in it. As I'm sure it will have more than enough articles as bio-stub gets sorted, I cleaned it up and added to the stub list. Remuel 15:34, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
As with Malta above, so here with Lithuania, which (at last count) had just 15 geo-stubs, of which 4 were sorted here (I'm adding the rest). Sadly, I was shortly going to be suggesting a separate Baltic-geo-stub for Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia, but this has largely scuppered those plans, because the other two between them won't reach target numbers. :( Grutness... wha? 00:28, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
You know, there I was, happily adding category links to WP:WSS/ST, when I stumbled upon this one, which is nicely listed in the right place. What's not so nice is that its category doesn't exist, so I get the sneaking suspicion that it was never discussed here. Created on 30th of April by User:Harisingh, "What links here" shows three articles that have it. If I'm mistaken, please disregard this listing (and create the category, of course). If not, well, I've been itching to try out this SFD thing right over there... -- grm_wnr Esc 19:37, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

This category for "Australian people stubs" was just recently created, but there's already {{ Australia-bio-stub}}, which is full of stubs, whereas this new one has zero. Hathawayc 01:50, May 16, 2005 (UTC)
I believe incomplete lists should have the {{ listdev}} marking on them instead of being put in a category. Hathawayc 02:04, May 16, 2005 (UTC)
Although these template stubs have been mentioned here in the past, no action was taken. Well I got tired of seeing them added to articles like Toilet training, so they have now been nominated at WP:TFD. BlankVerse ∅ 05:50, 21 May 2005 (UTC)
The substub template and category are (at last!) up for deletion at tfd and cfd. If you have any comments to make either way on the subject, please do so (there, not here). Grutness... wha? 01:51, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
