Split of Category:European political party stubs

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed creation of the stub template and/or category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the template's or category's talk page (if any). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the debate was create.
Even considering that some of the templates have not fully moved to new categories, the European political party stubs is over 800, and I'm not finding any more countries that can support a full category at this time. I'd like to propose a split of Europe, mostly based on the UN geoscheme. Propose the following new parent-only categories:

Support all. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 20:25, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
Support all, but... it's advisable you check the definitions of "Eastern Europe", since the term is regarded as derogatory in some parts of the former Soviet Bloc (the term "Central Europe" is preferred in those parts which weren't in the Soviet Union, IIRC).

The result of the debate was create.
Today Category:Russia geography stubs splits into 7 subcats, one for each of the Federal Districts of the Russian Federation. In 2010, they divided the Southern Federal District (Category:Southern Russia geography stubs) into two, splitting off the new North Caucasian Federal District. We should create a stub cat for the new District, in order to be consistent, and reorder the tree, regardless of the number of currently existing stubs (there are 252 total in South-Russia today). -- Y not? 17:10, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

  • That would be {{NorthCaucasus-geo-stub}}, without the hyphen, since it's the name of the new district, rather than a stub for just a subpart of a Caucasian Federal District. I'd certainly support a template, and a category iff it reaches the 60-stub threshold. Grutness...wha? 21:54, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
    • Ya, I bet it would, given the 252 in the parent. Do I need to go count? I forgot how things work around here, Grutness - I haven't been around WSS in a couple of years... Even if it doesn't reach sixty, wouldn't it make sense to make a template for consistency anyway? -- Y not? 03:19, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
        • Best thing would probably be to make the template upmerged at first - it'll be easy for anyone using the template to see (with the "what links here") if and when it gets to 60. Since it's been brought up here and general comments seem to be supporting the category if it reaches threshold, it can be speedily made and added to the template once it gets there - by you if you get there during the sorting :) Since a lot of the stubs are already sorted by Oblast for Russia, it should be pretty easy to work out quickly enough if there are enough stubs for a category. Grutness...wha? 10:46, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
      • Support template, no matter the number of articles. Support category if 60+ articles can be found. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 04:49, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
If my understanding is correct, the new Region contains the following seven oblasts which we already have geo-stubs for:
Which gives 118 and enough for a category already (unless I've missed something?). SeveroTC 11:09, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
  • Gracias, amigos. -- Y not? 16:10, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
    • Looks like plenty to me - go for it. Grutness...wha? 22:15, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
      • So... should I just go for it? Or do I need to wait until someone closes this? Or should I close it myself? :) -- Y not? 01:55, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
        • It's been here over a week and there's been no objectionsw so - either you can create it yourself now, or you can wait for someone here to get round to it (which probably won't take too long). Your choice :) Grutness...wha? 08:19, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Categories only when 60 is reached from the upmergable templates. I think that Moldova is the only one a little short but it may just tip 60. SeveroTC 21:10, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

good work there severo, Support all and given that we will have bio categories for all those I think any that do fall a little short would be OK. Waacstats (talk) 21:17, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Yup, these look like goers - I think that you can probably add Luxembourg to the list, too. Grutness...wha? 04:16, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
We already have Category:Luxembourgian sport stubs. Templates for the small states are a possibility which I will look at in the days ahead. SeveroTC 08:52, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
Oh! okaaay- I was going by the footyclub stub, which feeds directly into Category:Luxembourg stubs. I'll change that... Grutness...wha? 11:59, 28 February 2011 (UTC)
A {{Fiji-sport-stub}}/{{Fiji-sports-venue-stub}}/{{Fiji-footyclub-stub}} combination would account for close to 70 articles, enough for a Category:Fijian sport stubs, and it would also have bio subcat. Grutness...wha? 01:11, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
I will add it to the list. I haven't had a close look at - well - anywhere outside of Europe yet, just done a few of the more obvious candidates. SeveroTC 19:06, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Support, with a question - "centre" or "center"? (same with Canada, above) Grutness...wha? 22:14, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
The perm cats and articles use centre I see no reason to change this, my guess is as ice hockey is a Canadian sport it uses Commonwealth spelling as opposed to the american center.. Waacstats (talk) 23:33, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

The result of the debate was create as law-bio-stub.

Could use some pruning - though not oversized, it contains 504 stubs on its own. Might I suggest Category:European jurist stubs as a subcat? It would be populated by either {{Euro-jurist-stub}} or individual country templates. I'm in favor of the latter, but would consider the former as well. Thoughts? --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 20:19, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Support principal, but are not existing templates for European countries at {{Foo-law-bio-stub}} in which case I would think we are better off sticking to using -law-bio-stub instead of -jursit-stub. Also I would suggest using national templates for ost nations with a {{Europe-law-bio-stub}} to mop up the countries with only a couple of articles. Waacstats (talk) 23:59, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
Again it';s worth pointing out that the term jurist has different meanings on the two sides of the Atlantic, too, which may add to the confusion. Grutness...wha? 00:14, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

As per the referendum of last month, Southern Sudan is going to become independent (as South Sudan) in July of this year. Is it too early to discuss creating stub tags for the new country? I don't see that we have any as yet. I think we'll need:

I can't imagine that there will be any others yet. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 17:46, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

  • Discussion's already started here. It's also mentioned on the Discoveries page due to the discovery of {{SouthernSudan-stub}}. I think it is still too soon to make them, since the name of the new country's still not been formalised AFAIK, but once it is it'll be a good idea to start, and those four make perfect sense. Grutness...wha? 21:33, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
Perhaps I had misread, or it was misquoted in the media, but I think "South Sudan" has since been formalized. There was some comment about other names being bandied about, but not being adopted. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 21:57, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
Well, if that's the official one, it'd be the one to use (just a case of finding confirmation, I guess...) Grutness...wha? 23:33, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
I have no problem with the idea here but our articles seem to use Southern Sudan at the moment so that would be where I would suggest calling the templates, better yet I think would be to hold off completley till we have a confirmed name. Waacstats (talk) 23:53, 26 February 2011 (UTC)
Mind you, making them at one name with redirects at the other might make sense - we can always reverse the redirects if necessary. It sounds like the only names being used by the media and by the (Southern) Sudanese themselves are these two. Grutness...wha? 00:12, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
That of course assumes that they don't eventually decide on some other name. Waacstats (talk) 16:29, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

The result of the debate was Create Cyprus tag, do not create tags for disputed nations.
Found a few articles for Cyprus, currently tagged with {{Europe-party-stub}}:

And a couple controversial ones. Should I create these, or just tag with the optional tag indicated?

Dawynn (talk) 14:04, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Support the first. Regarding the latter two: as I recall, it's not practice to create stubs for such subnational entities that have very little, if any, international recognition. Am I correct, or do my wits woolgather? --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 14:56, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
Exactly right. Support Cyprus, oppose the other two. And Northern Cyprus gets tagged with the Cyprus tag for exactly the same reason. Grutness...wha? 21:36, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

I submitted two templates at WP:AFC yesterday, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Template:Old West-book-stub and Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Template:Old West-geo-stub, but was told to submit them here. I think they qualify under the second clause for "speedy creation" as a sub-category of Category:United States history stubs (see {{US-hist-book-stub}}). The vast majority of articles in Category:American Old West stubs are currently either books or historical locations. 72.74.206.120 (talk) 10:50, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

The geo stub cat would not be a good idea and given the fact that the parent only contains 47 articles I would have to say no to the book stub as well. Waacstats (talk) 21:31, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
I agree. Certainly geo-stubs only use current locations, so they should be in whichever state or subdivision of state that is appropriate, with any "Old West-stub" (how did it slip through with a non-standard name?) as a secondary stub type. In any case "the vast majority" is of a very small category. Soince the standard size of thinking about splitting a category into subtypes is around 800 stubs, there's no point whatsoever at present of even considering other templates - and when we do, they should be at names in line with the naming conventions for stub templates.

This may be a two-stage process including "superspeedying" at the first stage... Category:Sri Lanka geography stubs is waaay oversized (2200 stubs)... but that's because several of the provinces do not yet have their own subcategories. I propose:

The second stage, then, obviously, would be to find subcategories for Central Province. It's divided into three districts, which are each divided into an average of a dozen divisional secretariats. It seems very likely that the three districts at least should each have their own template (and probably category. That would mean creating:

Someones beaten me to my next big area to look at!

Upmerge template for Category:Software stubs. Some articles belonging in software development are misclassified in Category:Software engineering stubs, a more specific category, and I can't fix them now without losing specificity. (Main category is Category:Software development.) --Pnm (talk) 21:14, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

good idea, just not sure about whether to go with -dev- or -development- , dev could have other meanings. Waacstats (talk) 15:59, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
Support either suffix...perhaps "development" would be better. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 22:20, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
Needs clarification. I'm a computer programmer, and I'm even having trouble working out the fine line between {{software-dev-stub}}, {{compu-prog-stub}}, and {{software-eng-stub}}. OK, maybe software engineering is more of the higher-level concepts. But where do we draw a line between computer programming and software development? Please define how this new template would be used, and how its use would be distinctly different than {{compu-prog-stub}}. Dawynn (talk) 15:22, 16 February 2011 (UTC)

The hierarchy is like this:
Examples:
In some individual cases the distinction may fall apart. Articles can go in more than one if it's really necessary. When specific subcategories are created, placement becomes more clear. I'm trying to fill out the bottom of the hierarchy so articles like Bus factor, Custom software development, and Point release can accurately be placed.

Needs clarification -- first consider how many of said articles would talk about a part of the user's Desktop Environment. Such articles could then be sorted into Category:Desktop environment stubs. Dawynn (talk) 15:29, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
Category:Desktop environment stubs should be for articles related to desktop environments, which is software like the Windows shell, Aqua, GNOME, and KDE. It's a type of software, not a subtopic of graphical user interfaces. Articles like Adjustment handles, Affective design, Clickable, and Flip page are used in all kinds of software, so I'd put them in GUI stubs. Articles like At Ease and Desktop customization belong in Category:Desktop environment stubs. Articles like Active window and Dock (computing) about the user interface of desktop environments legitimately overlap, so I'd include both stub templates. --Pnm (talk) 00:09, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Tentative support -- I would start by adding such articles to Category:Software type stubs. Although there may be some use in subcategorizing out the file formats, this category was where I was dumping file formats when I was sorting these guys in the past. Dawynn (talk) 15:26, 16 February 2011 (UTC)
I don't mind if this is an upmerge template for Category:Software type stubs instead of Category:Computing stubs. However I don't feel quite right saying Archive file is "an article related to a type of software." The difference between software and a file format is obscure to some readers, and this inaccuracy would further confuse them. --Pnm (talk) 00:20, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Surprisingly, very few of these are broken down by country. Now, the category isn't exactly oversized yet, but I think it could still stand work. So here's what I suggest: creation of all the following that don't exist yet.

Category:French sculptor stubs, Category:Italian sculptor stubs, and Category:United Kingdom sculptor stubs all exist, as does Category:Serbian sculptor stubs. The latter only has seven articles, and can be happily dismantled, I think. That should pave the way for a general-use Category:European sculptor stubs.

Propose creating {{Women-hist-stub}} and Category:Women's history stubs as a sub-category of Category:History stubs. Some items might additionally be marked with bio-stub.

If so, do I need to file a separate proposal for the biographical stubs? ---Shane Landrum (cliotropic | talk | contribs) 18:22, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
I'm not sure - we don't ordinarily create biographical stubs by gender alone. What sort of biographical items are you talking about? --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 20:00, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

Several comments -

  1. since we already have {{fem-stub}} for articles relating to feminism, perhaps {{fem-history-stub}} would be better? I realise the two topics are not identical, but there would be considerable overlap.
  2. we've largely moved to using "history" rather than "hist", though hist would still be suitable for a redirect.
  3. I'm not really in favour of a separate woman-bio-stub using that name, since it's likely that many editors will misiterpret it to mean "biographies of women". A {{fem-bio-stub}}, for people associated with feminist studies or historically with women's causes would be approriate, though. Grutness...wha? 23:02, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
I don't know what the procedure is here, but just noting that I'd like to see this stub be created. It would be good to be able to identify articles about female historical figures, whether bios or not, that need to be expanded. They won't all be connected to feminism; in fact, most won't be.
The idea for the Wikiproject Women's History arose out of the recent efforts to increase women's participation and visibility on Wikipedia, so it would help to have a stub tag to encourage article creation and expansion. SlimVirgin TALK|CONTRIBS 07:02, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
I'm just concerned that some editors might assume {{women-bio-stub}} would be used for all biographical articles about women. There'd have to be pretty stringent wording of both the template and category, and regular checks (similar to the way that WP:Judaism try to make sure that Jewish-bio-stub is used for people notable for their connection to Judaism rather than simply people who follow the Jewish faith). Grutness...wha? 21:30, 9 February 2011 (UTC)
  • Reiterating request. This proposal was made in the early days of the Women's History project, and some of these issues have been discussed there. One of our obstacles at first was the tendency for eager editors to plaster every bio of a woman with the WH project banner, including BLPs of pop stars. We now have criteria to control that. The stub template, of course, is different, since it's independent of the project per se, while useful to it. The stub template in my view is not meant for biographies, but to facilitate the development of topics within women's history. Several needed articles have been mentioned at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Women's History that could be begun as stubs. I ended up here today because I needed a stub template for Movement for the Ordination of Women that placed it within the field of women's history as well as Anglican church history. I'd like to start a stub for Ladies' aid societies, for instance. That said, there are a number of historically significant but lesser known women who are notable enough for articles, and whose articles might benefit from a debut as a stub that marks the topic as of interest to women's history. So I don't know what to do about that. But I would like to see a Women's History stub template become available. Cynwolfe (talk) 19:46, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
  • I think that the original requested wording was correct with the change to expanding hist to history. {{Women-history-stub}} and Category:Women's history stubs as a sub-category of Category:History stubs. Category:History stubs would be the top level category for these articles the same way that it is the top level category for stubs about Military history (which also contains biographies.) I would like to see this happen soon since the Women's History Project is working on locating existing articles and doing assessments. FloNight♥♥♥♥ 19:55, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

After sifting through the various Category:Hotel company stubs and the associated subcategories, I would like to suggest new templates and potential category. Notice that the existing templates and categories all carry company in the name. However, a quick perusal of the categories shows that this is abused, which a large share of the articles talking only about one particular structure.

While companies may be international, structures are specific to a particular location. So, I don't see up front a need for a general-level hotel structure template. I would like to suggest the following:

I would guess that there would be enough to create a category, so I will go ahead and request Category:Hotel (structure) stubs. Additional categories will be requested as the need arises. Main category here is Category:Hotels.

Template and category descriptions and categorizations will all be updated to reflect this differentiation. Unfortunately, this may undersize the recently created Category:Asian hotel company stubs and Category:European hotel company stubs. That can be dealt with as the need arises.
