The result of the debate was upmerge

Incomplete stub type creation from October 2006. No accompanying category. Used in a single article, but should be deleted as too specific. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 08:57, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've upmerged this for now. Australia-politician-stub is split by party, and the National Party is one of the major ones. Restubbing the A's in the parent have brought his up to 3 articles, restubbing the rest should bring it up to a respectable number, maybe even enough for a cate of its own. Labor and Liberal are undersorted as well. Could Alai have his bot work its magic to get those that already have the proper parent cat to have the right stubs. (i.e. {{Australia-politician-stub}} + [[Category:National Party of Australia politicians]] means replace {{Australia-politician-stub}} with {{Australia-National-politician-stub}} so we can have a better idea of the numbers?

I could do, and have no particular objections as such (though the template name is slightly cogdissing), but we should try to establish if by-party is the best axis: note that for the US and Canada, we split by state/province in the first instance (and in the UK, we seem to have an ever-worsening dog's dinner). Also, can we get this wikiproject (among it must be said, 50-odd others) to desist from self-referencing/spamming/non-standard-stub-formatting transcluded WPJ links into the article-space? It'd be a boon to my blood pressure. However, it won't pass threshold on that basis alone: there were 22 at the time of the last db dump, though per the usual caveat, that might of course be undercatting at work. I'll hold off bot-populating until closure, but upmerger is OK with me. Alai 03:07, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
