[edit]

There are a lot of items here, maybe we should put in more sub-categories - eg. country of origin, era, engine type, etc. --GW_Simulations 10:06, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, prehaps we could set it up something like this: Pre-WWI, WWI, Interwar period, WWII, something about the 50's, and 60's, the Vietnam war or the 70's/80's, and 90's-today. Opinions? --Change1211

After looking over this bunch of pages it seems like there are hundreds of pages that shouldn't even be in here at all. This is an aircraft section, not airshows and airports/companies, any ideas what we should do about this?

  • We'll make a separate stub type for those as well. But in the mean time, we'll only stub sort the aircraft ones. Nearly one thousand page to go through. We are the only ones. -- WB 06:14, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • That'd be the existing type {{Aviation-stub}}/Category:Aviation stubs, surely. I'm not sure that parameterised templates are necessarily regarded as a wildly good idea, and in any event, please see WP:WSS/P, where schemes for such splits are customarily discussed: indeed, there's still one proposed from several months ago.

      • Hmm. Nobody has come up with anything for over a month, starting with this now is rather a better idea than to wait till even more things get piled up in there. I realize it's not the most popular idea, but I think it makes a job of editors a lot easier since we only have to change a few numbers and continuously editting without typing 1960-1969 every time. That was what I was thinking when I made that. -- WB 06:54, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • I'd at least moot the idea there: better that than to sort 100s of articles, and then have them all unsorted by 'bot. It's not clear that the template is any easier to use: {{aero-60s-stub}} would be shorter, and a bit more standard. As it stands, it requires additional "how-to" (which doesn't exist on the corresponding category pages, btw). Alai 07:19, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • A general category could be useful. Also, maybe someone could program a bot to help us. --GW_Simulations 12:59, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]



Now a question, when did the WikiProject: Stub sorting group start helping out in this section? Change1211 01:30, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Aircraft component stubs

[edit]

Shouldn't the category Aircraft component stubs be a subcategory of this? The tag template for that is {{Component-aircraft-stub}}. FerralMoonrender (MyTalkMyContribsEmailMe) 00:37, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
