Proposals, June 2011

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

If (after approval) you create a stub type, please be sure to add it to the list of stub types. This page will be archived in its entirety once all discussions have been closed; there is no need to move them to another page.

Proposing the following:

Templates built first, and used for exploration of the topic. Categories to be built only when templates filled.

Would these be better limited to programs rather than including channels and other things? Waacstats (talk) 21:49, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
Oops! Corrections made to original proposed templates. Propose the following in addition:
I know the template still says prog, and the category limits this to a series. One could argue that *anything* shown on TV is a program (including one-off movies and specials), while the concept of series typically denotes a recurring program, whether weekly, annual, etc. But the precedent had already been set by Category:Drama television series, Category:Comedy television series, and others.

Possibly useful, though several of the articles you list are not stubs the number of links to an article is completely irrelevant when talking about stubs). Others are people, who would not normally be put into a subject category but rather into a bio category. Tentative support, though I'd like to hear from stub-sorters working on med stubs in general.

Slowly, slowly, the Antarctica geo-stubs are coming under control... but there are still a few categories that are or will soon be massively oversized. So, here are a few more splits:

The first of these should finally bring East Antarctica geo-stubs below the 1000 stub mark, the other three should reduce the pressure on the soon-to-be-enormous Antarctic Peninsula geo-stub category (currently not big, but soon likely to be well over 2500 stubs).

Oversized. Propose split into the wide, sweeping basic categories:

Although I wouldn't classify this as a "basic" category, there seems to be enough to support this also, especially since we already have two subcategories:

Some good news, some bad news, some good news, and some even better news.

First, the good news. Category:Antarctica geography stubs is now almost empty, and one of its two (very) oversized subcategories has dropped from 4500 stubs to about 2000 stubs. Now the bad news - Category:Ross Dependency geography stubs is already over 2000 stubs and will probably peak at around 3000 (RD is the most widely explored part of the continent).

Now for the other good news. About 35-40% of those stubs are Victoria Land stubs, so a {{VictoriaLand-geo-stub}}/Category:Victoria Land geography stubs is more than viable - it will mean there are still oversized categories, but they will be a Ross one of 2000 and a VL one of 1000, rather than a Ross one of 3000. Further splitting that that would be pretty difficult, but at least they will be a fairly manageable size. A split-out of Ross Island stubs ({{RossIsland-geo-stub}}/Category:Ross Island geography stubs) would probably be worthwhile too - it would remove about 150 stubs. Even better news - I've been categorising all the Ross Dependency stubs as I go, so it should be an easy task for a bot to find anything categorised in one of the Victoria Land and Ross Island categories and swap the stub templates over. Sound good? Grutness...wha? 09:10, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Well done on the sorting of Antarctica, and support this further sorting. Waacstats (talk) 20:22, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

A broad but useful division of the art stubs, with many editors specializing in this area. This would be the first chronological/movement type of art stub, the others being focused on medium of expression (painting, sculpture, etc) which I would consider a complementary classification. Part of the working role of this would be at Wikipedia:GLAM/MoMA, which is interested in developing modern art articles very broadly.--Pharos (talk) 20:06, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

  • Very broad... would it be better to go for several smaller types by movement, e.g., {{Expressionist-art-stub}}, {{Cubist-art-stub}}, {{Surrealist-art-stub}}, {{Minimalist-art-stub}}? Grutness...wha? 00:28, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
    • (PS - this isn't an objection to the proposed split, which seems fine, just a suggestion) Grutness...wha? 09:11, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
  • Have nothing against, but I find WikiProject based classification more useful (example), as (1) focuses tagging to articles editors are actually interested in upgrading; (2) is not just a temporary classification but one which stays on after the article is brought to higher quality; (3) does not add that unnecessary and unattractive line at the bottom of the article. Whit other words, what I am suggesting as an alternative is to start a Modern art Task force within Wikipedia:WikiProject Arts. Than simply run a bot to tag all articles within scope, and you get a full picture not only of the stubs but of articles of all qualities. --Elekhh (talk) 20:38, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
    • Sounds like you're actually wanting an assessment template rather than a stub template. Stub templates only stay on articles while they are stubs, so they're not a permanent classification - and that unattractive line is necessary for stubs, since they are trying to ttract random editors to edit an article (and not just members of a WikiProject who already know about them). In other words, you're confusing stub articles and Stub-Class articles - two completely different things. Have a look at Wikipedia:STUB#Stub_types.2C_WikiProjects.2C_and_Assessment_templates. Grutness...wha? 01:32, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
      • Well, a task force would have its benefits too, though I don't really see them as contradictory notions at all.--Pharos (talk) 19:32, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
  • I think there are too many already [1], a
     

    This modern art-related article is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it.

    is ok, lets do it, but then who gets it? a Picasso type artist? what about Jeff Koons? or James Turrell? then we might need a {{Post-modern-art-stub}} or an {{Installation-art-stub}}, I think the stub is a temporary tag and should be kept as simple and broad as possible...Modernist (talk) 20:06, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
  • Pharos, the two notions are not contradictory, as you point out - but the question is what do the people arguing here want? Elekh's comments made it clear that what he's looking for is NOT a stub template. Modernist seems a little confused, too, in that the notion of having "too many" stub templates is not something that is because of any desire to have more stub templates, but simply through the orthogonal splitting of stub types and the proliferation of art-related stub articles - it is in part forced by the necessity of keeping stub categories at a reasonable size, and is also useful in terms of attracting editors from different backgrounds (a Bulgarian biographer might stumble in through Bulgaria-artist-stub, for example). I'm not against the proposed stub type, but at the moment, I'd oppose the proposal as it stands, simply on the grounds that it sounds as though there's a general misunderstanding here of what a modern-art-stub would be, why it would be needed, and who would be primarily using it. It's not primarily for use by the task force of a WikiProject in order to organise articles for that task force - you'd use an assessment template for that. It's primarily for use by WP:WSS in order to organise stub articles across the whole of Wikipedia for all editors. There is also the quite justifiable question of what "Modern art" actually is, though that is largely determined by the permcat Category:Modern art, itself determined by the key article Modern art. I'd suggest this needs a bit more thought, both in terms of what is required and also in terms of how any such split should proceed. Grutness...wha? 01:23, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
  • Okay - conversations offlist with Pharos have convinced me that this is worth doing, but please, any others who may be using it - read up on what a stub template is! Grutness...wha? 00:16, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
  • I'm well aware of what a stub template is, hence my comment above. Regardless, the problem you raised about what is defined as "modern" is also an important one, as the limits are not easy to set clearly. For instance there has been over the last months a tendency to add all 20th and 21th century art articles into modern art categories (often together with postmodern and contemporary art categories), and the same is being carried out on Commons. --Elekhh (talk) 03:18, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
  • Oops - apologies - I seem to have completely misread your original comments. It seems we were in agreement on that point all along! :) As to what modern art is, it is a problem, though with any luck the article and permanent category give some indications (it's a problem I'm well-acquainted with in my non-wikipedia job as an arts reviewer and painter!). My own personal preference is that it relates to styles which have developed since (and including) impressionism, but there are as many definitions as there are writers on the subject. I'd suggest that a basic modern-art-stub template would be the best immediate solution, using the definitions at Modern art, with more templates for particular movements if and as required. Grutness...wha? 08:30, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
  • Can we go forward with creating this one now?--Pharos (talk) 17:25, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
    • Yes - it's on the list to do, I don't see any reason why not tpo start it now. Here you go :) Grutness...wha? 01:24, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

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 no consensus.

There are 326 US Senators who have articles that are stubs. While it is normally customary to sort US politicians by state and then by office, I don't think that any state would ever be viable. This category would be in addition to the state/office template/category, and would be a subcategory of Category:American politician stubs. Thoughts? See catscan: [2]

Support - I tend to agree. Especially as the number's never likely to get any larger, given the depth of coverage of any new senators in the future. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 21:20, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
I'm fairly neutral on this but would the template be better at {{US-Senator-stub}} as it is conceivable that at some point in te future we may want {{US-senate-stub}} for articles about the senate in general? Waacstats (talk) 11:41, 23 June 2011 (UTC)
I'm flexible. I did it the way I did because of the state tags, for example {{Massachusetts-MASenate-stub}}. But there's also {{Massachusetts-Representative-stub}} for members of the US House, and I suppose that your alternative is closer to that. ~Gosox(55)(55) 21:54, 23 June 2011 (UTC)

Split of Category:Caribbean Netherlands 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.
This currently includes articles about the former (pre-2010 dissolution) Netherlands Antilles. Some are related to the Caribbean Netherlands (Bonaire, Saba, and Sint Eustatius), but others are related to Curacao, Sint Maarten, or Aruba, which are separate entities not part of the Caribbean Netherlands. The category should be split into Category:Caribbean Netherlands stubs, Category:Curaçao stubs, Category:Sint Maarten stubs, and Category:Aruba stubs. Maybe we need to restore Category:Netherlands Antilles stubs--having it replaced by Category:Caribbean Netherlands stubs is like replacing Category:Yugoslavia stubs with Category:Serbia stubs. Goustien (talk) 15:23, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

  • Support restoration of a {{NetherlandsAntilles-stub}} with changed verbiage indicating that it is for the historical entiry. (Similar to what we do with Yugoslavia, Korea, and the USSR). Upmerge to Category:Caribbean stubs for now, since the majority of these articles can be assigned to the appropriate island(s).
  • Oppose creation of a Category:Sint Maarten stubs for now. Keep filling {{SintMaarten-stub}} until it reaches proper size. (Currently 49 pages)
Dawynn (talk) 20:01, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
  • Agree with Dawynn - a NA template would be appropriate, so I support that, but there aren't enough stubs for a separate category for it or for Sint Maarten, so they should be/remain upmerged. Grutness...wha? 01:44, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
Support per Dawynn. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 21:20, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
After reviewing the articles, I would support a restoration or rebuild of Category:Netherlands Antilles stubs, as long as the verbiage reflects that this is a historical entity. The following templates can be placed under this category:
Total of 71 articles. Dawynn (talk) 12:08, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
Interesting. Now that the Netherlands Antilles articles have been removed, the Caribbean Netherlands will be struggling to make a full category. 36 articles currently. Dawynn (talk) 14:51, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
I think I found the problem. No one had connected the -geo- stub for the BES islands to Category:Caribbean Netherlands stubs. I think, once the job queue catches up, it should be just over the minimum now. Dawynn (talk) 19:55, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

Hello stub sorters! I've returned from a 5-month WikiBreak! I found this category that needs some work, it's almost to 600.

This category is getting pretty sizable, and just shy of 1000 stubs. I can think of one nice, simple way of splitting it in two:

The other alternative would be more comprehensive - geographically Labrador seems to be divided into five geographical areas:

Astoundingly, Newfoundland doesn't seem to be split in any way other than its ten census divisions (the eleventh is Labrador), names for the ten stubs, if we use this method, could be difficult to assign. For now, perhaps just splitting out the redirect and coming back to the problem later is the easiest way...Grutness...wha? 05:08, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

Support all. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 14:44, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

I only created the basic Labrador one. Sadly, N&L seems to be a neglected area of Wiipedia. There are lots of stubs for towns, but almost nothing on lakes, rivers, mountains... very sadly neglected. Because of that, only abut 100 of the stubs were in Labrador. Grutness...wha? 04:41, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

Category:Antarctica geography stubs and its subcategories are still a nightmare of epic proportions, stubwise. I'd like to propose the following stub types, each of which should reach threshold several times over, which will hopefully reduce these massive cats:

Hopefully, that should at least start to solve this mammoth problem! Grutness...wha? 02:33, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

This should help with one of the hardest areas of the world to split in terms of geo stubs. Waacstats (talk) 13:01, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Update: In case anyone's wondering why I've made three but not the rest, I'm starting with the East Antarctica ones before doing the West Antarctica group... sifting through 3500 EAntarctica stubs takes time. There will be more splits proposed once these are done, BTW, including dealing with the brimming South Shetlands category. Once this is done, I'll never want to see another Antarctica stub as long as I live. It feels a bit like rearrangeing the deckchairs on the Titanic, only there are thousands of stubby icebergs (literally!) The good news is that the main Category:Antarctica geography stubs now has only about 50 unsubcategorised stubs! Grutness...wha? 11:53, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

Four types done now - only some 7250 stubs that will need manual sorting to go. East Antarctica down to 1700 stubs. Now for the west (over 4000!)... Grutness...wha? 12:26, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
Another update: Looks like Antarctic Peninsula will require a split once this is done. NB - for anyone silly enough to help out with this (not a hint, I'm quite happy chugging away at it), whoever made the stubs originally was either very sloppy with applying details of where they are or the boundaries have changed (very probably the latter). A lot of the articles categorised as Ellsworth Land aren't anywhere near Ellsworth Land, for instance. I'm working by the Lat/Long coordinates rather than trusting the text for most of the stubs...

Support, but not at that name - make it {{NewZealand-Liberal-politician-stub}}, and you've got a deal! No objection to a {{NZ-Liberal...}} redirect. Note however that there have been two separate parties with that name, one in the late 19th-early 20th century, and one in the 1980s-1990s.

While working through the eclipse stubs, I've uncovered what could be a few more useful stub types. Two of them seem pretty straightforward:

Sun-stub would have at least 35-40 stubs, though Category:Solar eclipse stubs (of which there are about 400) would be a subtype, so it could probably survive as a separate category even if it only reaches 50 or so. Meteoroid-stub would have at least 48 stubs, possibly quite a few more - it probably wouldn't take much effort to get it close to 60.

A third possibility is one I'd want to run past WP:Astronomy before committing to it - {{Astrophysics-stub}} / Category:Astrophysics stubs. I think it would take a large number of the remaining astronomy stubs, but I'm uncertain as to twhat the boundary of what counts as astrophysics is.

Yes to the first, a split by region seems a reasonable idea - less sure about the second. The usual scheme wth sports bio-stubs is to split by player position or by year of birth - don't know about hurling, but in most sports it's possible for a player to represent any number of clubs during a career but far less likely they'll shift their playing position too much, or their date of birth at all! See the English football split further down this page for an idea of how sports splits normally work. Grutness...wha? 00:46, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
In hurling is very unlikely a player will move counties. There is no transfer system in Hurling, the only time a player can change county is for economics reasons. This is very rare. Of the teams that play at the highest level the All-Ireland Senior Hurling Championship I can only think of 1 transfer in the last 3/4 years Gnevin (talk) 09:00, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
In that case splitting by region makes more sense, so no objections from me. Grutness...wha? 02:39, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

The above would pick up over 60 articles from {{Israel-musician-stub}} and {{Israel-singer-stub}} assuming only a few are double stubbed. Speedy? Waacstats (talk) 08:54, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Category:United States company stubs in grossly oversized - largely through undersorting - but this template and category could alleviate some of the pressure on it (category only if it reaches 60 stubs, of course...). Grutness...wha? 01:38, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

This looks like a good split. Waacstats (talk) 11:26, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

Category:Astronomy stubs contains about 1250 articles, and over 350 of them relate to eclipses... Category:Solar-eclipse-stub might be a better name - thoughts? Grutness...wha? 01:38, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

given that catscan shows over 400 solar eclipse articles and over 200 lunar eclipse articles under 1500 bytes I think we might be worth while having both a {{Lunar-eclipse-stub}} - Category:Lunar eclipse stubs and {{Solar-eclipse-stub}} - Category:Solar eclipse stubs. Waacstats (talk) 22:57, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
Sounds good to me. Grutness...wha? 00:49, 6 June 2011 (UTC)

There are just over 1000 articles in [[:Category:Albania geography stubs|]] - time to split by the 12 counties of Albania, methinks...

Plus categories in the form Category:Foo County geography stub for any which reach the 60-stub mark. Grutness...wha? 01:38, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Support all. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 15:54, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
All done - most just sneaked past 60 - sadly the last two are quite small. Grutness...wha? 06:56, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
