Category:Stubs

edit

The {{stub}} template places articles in Category:Stubs.
This category should be routinely cleared to prevent a backlog.
There are currently 5 articles in this category (update).

Vetting of unlisted templates

edit

The conversion of templates to {{asbox}} has uncovered over 7000 stub templates which are not listed on the official stub lists. These need to be checked: if they are approved, they should be listed; if they are not, then need to be assessed at WP:TFD or WP:CFD. Many of the unapproved ones will need renaming to conform with stub standards. A full list of these 7000+ templates can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Templates to vet and its subpages.

Categories created, to be populated

edit

Newly created & underpopulated

edit

See Stub categories which are potentially undersized

In need of re-sorting

edit

See Category:Stub categories needing attention.

Templates and categories approved, yet to be created

edit

To find stub templates or categories which have been approved but not yet created, try browsing the Archive pages.

To find stub templates or categories which may be oversized and thus need sub-types to be created, see the categories listed at Oversized stub categories to be split.

Incorrect stubbing

edit

Please note: Some of these reports are run regularly; some have not been run for several years. Any information on how to reinstate them would be very welcome!

Overlong "stub" pages

edit

Wikipedia:Database reports/Long stubs lists pages that are marked as stubs, but seem excessively long for stubs. These should be reviewed for possible migration to a higher class. If it is determined that these are no longer stubs, please remove the stub templates, and, where applicable, update the article talk pages to indicate the new class for the article. This report is updated every 7 days.

Manually populated categories

edit

There is a list of stubs which have been manually added to stub categories (rather than by use of a stub template) at Wikipedia:Database reports/Stubs included directly in stub categories. All of these articles should have the category removed, and (unless the article is not a stub) replaced by a stub template. If it appears as if the same editors are repeatedly adding categories manually, the template {{uw-directcat}} can be used to inform them how stubs should be categorised. This report has not been run since 2014 and is considered inactive.

Redlinked templates

edit

There is a list of articles with redlinked stub templates at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/missing stubs. In many cases the templates that should be on the articles have been added to the list. Some of these redlinks are simply spelling mistakes, others are vandalism, but most involve templates which are too finely-grained to yet exist. All of these need correcting to existing stub types (once one is done, please remove it from the list, either through striking it out or (if a whole section is completed) by removing the section. Once the page is empty, please leave a note on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Stub sorting/missing stubs for a new list to be generated. The list shows transclusions of missing stub templates from main-namespace articles. This report has not been run since 2014 and is considered inactive.

Other reports

edit

Instructions for rebuilding these reports are found at the bottom of each page.

Undersized stub categories

edit

There are several hundred undersized stub categories. Some of these are newly created and need populating, others might be brought up to the 60-stub threshold level by sorting stubs into them. Severely undersized categories which currently have no chance of reaching the threshold may need to be taken to WP:CFD for deletion/upmerging. Undersized stub categories are listed in Category:Stub categories needing attention.
