On this WikiProject Stub sorting subpage, you can propose new stub types (please read the procedures beforehand!), as well as the reorganization and subdivision of existing stub types. You can also discuss anything else related to stubs on the talk page.

Proposing new stub types – procedure

Important: If you wish to propose the creation of a stub article you've come to the wrong place. If you don't have a username yourself, please go to WP:AFC for proposing a new article. If you already have a username, you can create the article yourself. If you don't know how, add {{Helpme}} to your user talk page to request help from other editors. This page only deals with stub templates and categories; we cannot help you with creating articles.

Proposing new stub types
If you wish to propose a new stub category and template, please follow these procedures:
  1. Check the List of stub types or under Category:Stub categories to make sure that your proposed new stub does not already exist.
  2. List it at the top of the current month's section, under a header, like the ones shown (if any). Sign it with a datestamp (~~~~).
    • Please bear in mind that a stub category isn't about the importance or notability of the topic!
  3. Find a good number[1] of stub articles, as many as you can, that will fit that template. You may use this tool to scan through categories; tagged stubs are always in Category:All stub articles and transclude {{asbox}}. Each of these articles can be:
    • currently marked with {{stub}};
    • currently marked with another type of stub tag (in which case you should justify why your tag is better for the article than the current one);
    • a stub whose categorisation is highly ambiguous or questionable;
    • not marked as a stub.
  4. If you use any category scan (from the tool mentioned above or from any other), please link to it so that other users can confirm that the results are still accurate.
  5. Others may do the same, if they so desire.
  6. 5 days after listing it here, if there is general approval or no objection, go ahead and create the new category and/or template following the format on Wikipedia:Stub. List the new stub type on the stub types list in an appropriate section. If consensus is not clear, or discussion is still ongoing, the proposal will remain open until consensus can be reached.
  7. If you wish to propose a stub type which does not currently have 60 articles that could use it, you may propose an upmerged template in a similar way. An upmerged template would feed into currently existing stub categories until such time that there are enough stubs for a separate stub category. At that point a category for it may be separately proposed. Some times, it may be difficult to be sure how many stubs would get a tag - in which case you can also start with an upmerged stub tag until you're sure there are enough.

DO NOT place a proposal here for any stub type which has already been created and is being discussed at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion. The proposal page is only for stub types that have not yet been created, and it is better to keep any discussion of such stub types in one place rather than splitting it between different pages. Wikipedia:Categories for discussion is the correct page for proposals to delete a stub type.

^ Good number means about 60 articles or more, or 30 or more if it is the primary stub type of a WikiProject, though this figure may vary from case to case.

"Speedy creation"

A stub type may be proposed for "speedy creation" if it meets one of the following criteria:

  • S1 - the creation of a category for which an approved upmerged template already exists and is now in use on more than 60 articles.
  • S2 - the creation of an upmerged national-level template for a subject in which other such national-level templates currently exist (e.g., X-bio-stub, X-hist-stub, or X-geo-stub, where X is the name of an internationally widely recognised country) or other instances where a clearly established pattern of similar subtypes exists. The proposed topic may not be controversial in scope.

List speedy creation proposals in the same proposal listings as normal stub proposals below.

Proposals, June 2025

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

NEW PROPOSALS

Alabama Registered Historic Place stubs

Another category over the 700 mark, I propose splitting this up by county template with the counties grouped as per Category:Alabama geography stubs. I have run out of energy for typing them up, so if anyone wants them all typed up, tough, honestly I will have them here before I start but just look at the geo cat for now. Waacstats (talk) 16:33, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Idaho Registered Historic Place stubs

Another one over 700, we don't have a decent split of the geo category, in fact we need to look at getting rid of some undersize county categories at some point. I propose templates for the counties and then see if between the geos and the NRHP we can come up with some regions to use.Waacstats (talk) 16:33, 15 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comfortably over 700, fortunately Portland has a very big chunk of these I propose the following:

Also if we are splitting by county may as well do the others for later ease

Texas Registered Historic Place stubs

Category is at over 600, could do with a trim beforeir gets any bigger, unfortunatly Texas has a lot of counties. I have based this proposal on the existing split of the geo stubs. I believe all the categories will reach 60 but not sure all the templates will be required so whoever creates this (thats probably me) should only ccreate the categories as they are needed.

Indian actor stubs

Following a sort of this category that pushed the film subcat over 600, partly because unlike other countries where we have split actors we don't have an Indian screen actor stubs to put those who do film and tv, I therefore propose the following:

And because there were a number of stage performers I propose the following, it might not yet reach 60 but should do once we sort through the parent.

West Bengal railway station stubs is oversized; I propose making a subcategory and template (Purba Bardhaman district geography stubs and {{PurbaBardhaman-railstation-stub}}) for 65 articles - OpalYosutebitotalk』 『articles I want to eat』 02:44, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am not necessarily against this split but I think we have already started splitting by the "actions" of the organisations and I think this might be a better way to goin the long term. Waacstats (talk) 12:38, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, but someone already made {{Oregon-org-stub}} and I wanted to fit that pattern... I'm cool with it being split up either way! - OpalYosutebitotalk』 『articles I want to eat』 12:57, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I also prefer the split by type/action of an org; I think the Oregon org stub is an outlier. Her Pegship (?) 21:37, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Good to know! I'll leave it to @Waacstats for this one... - OpalYosutebitotalk』 『articles I want to eat』 21:42, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

British writer stubs

Nearly oversized, could do with a good sort, a good start to that would be a new category

not all the articles in the petscan would "deserve" the screenwriter tag so a hnad sort is probable and not all would come out of the oversized category but it would be a good start to a hand sort. Waacstats (talk) 20:01, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

United States organization stubs

Oversized propose we split out the Cultural organizations. Would also be a subcat of the existing cultural organization stubs

Waacstats (talk) 20:01, 25 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Support but wouldn't it also be a subcat of United States organization stubs, which I'm trying to split up? - OpalYosutebitotalk』 『articles I want to eat』 18:44, 26 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, it would be a subcat of both us-org and culture-org categories. Waacstats (talk) 12:35, 27 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Idk what to call this, but I found a bunch of members of the Parliament of Finland that are stubs (over 300 articles). What should it be called? I'm unsure of the name because I've never dealt with a stub type of this nature before... - OpalYosutebitotalk』 『articles I want to eat』 17:45, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

We have already splits by party, may be worth continueing that if possible first but if we do choose to go this way I would go

Waacstats (talk) 13:17, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

looking at it, a tidy up to existing categories should get this below 500 and I think a couple of by party splits may well be viable, I'll have a proper look later. Waacstats (talk) 13:47, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
How do the following look, each party has over 60 stubs and I feel there are still some unmarked stubs for each party, should take out 250 articles.
