This covers schools in the East of England region; the current name does not easily identify the category. Rename to Cat:East of England school stubs to bring clarity and match the region's article. Timrollpickering (talk) 19:56, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I propose renaming Cat:Rail stubs to Cat:Rail transport stubs, and {{rail-stub}} to {{rail-transport-stub}} (yes, this is a kind of {{transport-stub}}) - the word rail is too ambiguous; what's meant here is rail transport. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 08:26, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Support and I would also add the following templates and categories along the same lines:

- Support categories - seems to be permcat standard; weak support for templates - less urgent, but probably a good move...keeping the current names as redirects. Grutness...wha? 01:17, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose It is not ambiguous in context and in general use rail means rail transport and the term rail is used often in wikipedia without having transport added to the end. Jamesrules90 (talk) 17:14, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Remember that stub categories should, where possible, conform to the permanent category names... Grutness...wha? 00:50, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I forgot to mention that the permcat is at Cat:Rail transport and there is no reason for the stub categories to be any different. SeveroTC 08:53, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- And when I first saw this category, I originally thought of Guard rails, not of trains. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 13:54, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment I have no objection since the specific term "rail transport" is commonly used (specifically within wikipedia eg maintenence categories etc). However what are the hyphens for? Generally I see no need for hyphens - they are counter intuitive - use them only when it has real meaning.Imgaril (talk) 16:02, 28 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Standard stub template naming convention, indicating a subtype - as used on all of the several thousand different stub templates and supported by the coding of asbox. {{US-bridge-struct-stub}} is a subtype of {{bridge-struct-stub}}, which is a subtype of {{struct-stub}}, which is a subtype of {{stub}}. See WP:WSS/NC. Grutness...wha? 08:34, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Holy shit you're right - I checked all eighteen thousand in Category:Stub_message_boxes and they all do it, how could I have been so blind..Imgaril (talk) 22:45, 29 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was moved to "Kitchenware", keeping previous template name as a redirect with possibilities for a possible future Cat:Cooking utensil stubs
Permcat iks at Cat:Cooking utensils, stub cat should match it at Cat:Cooking utensil stubs, though perhaps a better permcat parent would be Cat:Kitchenware (meaning this should be at Cat:Kitchenware stubs. If the latter, Either the template should also be renamed or a new, separate {{Kitchenware-stub}} would be appropriate. Grutness...wha? 04:13, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the discussion was rename to SEAsianGames-stub - delete current name
Similar to yesterdays nomination of Asian-games-stub, but with a bit more weirdness in the naming this time. There is no such place as South Easia, This is for the Southeast Asian Games, and as such should be either at {{SEAsian-Games-stub}} or {{SEAsianGames-stub}}. Either seems to be possible, at the moment, with a redirect from the other - but the current name is wrong, even for a redirect. Grutness...wha? 01:27, 18 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Support Agree the name is wrong and confusing.Jamesrules90 (talk) 17:16, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- {{SEAsianGames-stub}} for me. South Easia sounds kind of Orwellian. SeveroTC 08:51, 21 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
