On this WikiProject Stub sorting subpage, you can propose new stub types (please read the procedures beforehand!), as well as the reorganization and subdivision of existing stub types. You can also discuss anything else related to stubs on the talk page.

Proposing new stub types – procedure

[edit]

Important: If you wish to propose the creation of a stub article you've come to the wrong place. If you don't have a username yourself, please go to WP:AFC for proposing a new article. If you already have a username, you can create the article yourself. If you don't know how, add {{Helpme}} to your user talk page to request help from other editors. This page only deals with stub templates and categories; we cannot help you with creating articles.

Proposing new stub types
If you wish to propose a new stub category and template, please follow these procedures:
  1. Check the List of stub types or under Category:Stub categories to make sure that your proposed new stub does not already exist.
  2. List it at the top of the current month's section, under a header, like the ones shown (if any). Sign it with a datestamp (~~~~).
    • Please bear in mind that a stub category isn't about the importance or notability of the topic!
  3. Find a good number[1] of stub articles, as many as you can, that will fit that template. You may use this tool to scan through categories; tagged stubs are always in Category:All stub articles and transclude {{asbox}}. Each of these articles can be:
    • currently marked with {{stub}};
    • currently marked with another type of stub tag (in which case you should justify why your tag is better for the article than the current one);
    • a stub whose categorisation is highly ambiguous or questionable;
    • not marked as a stub.
  4. If you use any category scan (from the tool mentioned above or from any other), please link to it so that other users can confirm that the results are still accurate.
  5. Others may do the same, if they so desire.
  6. 5 days after listing it here, if there is general approval or no objection, go ahead and create the new category and/or template following the format on Wikipedia:Stub. List the new stub type on the stub types list in an appropriate section. If consensus is not clear, or discussion is still ongoing, the proposal will remain open until consensus can be reached.
  7. If you wish to propose a stub type which does not currently have 60 articles that could use it, you may propose an upmerged template in a similar way. An upmerged template would feed into currently existing stub categories until such time that there are enough stubs for a separate stub category. At that point a category for it may be separately proposed. Some times, it may be difficult to be sure how many stubs would get a tag - in which case you can also start with an upmerged stub tag until you're sure there are enough.

DO NOT place a proposal here for any stub type which has already been created and is being discussed at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion. The proposal page is only for stub types that have not yet been created, and it is better to keep any discussion of such stub types in one place rather than splitting it between different pages. Wikipedia:Categories for discussion is the correct page for proposals to delete a stub type.

^ Good number means about 60 articles or more, or 30 or more if it is the primary stub type of a WikiProject, though this figure may vary from case to case.

"Speedy creation"

[edit]

A stub type may be proposed for "speedy creation" if it meets one of the following criteria:

  • S1 - the creation of a category for which an approved upmerged template already exists and is now in use on more than 60 articles.
  • S2 - the creation of an upmerged national-level template for a subject in which other such national-level templates currently exist (e.g., X-bio-stub, X-hist-stub, or X-geo-stub, where X is the name of an internationally widely recognised country) or other instances where a clearly established pattern of similar subtypes exists. The proposed topic may not be controversial in scope.

List speedy creation proposals in the same proposal listings as normal stub proposals below.

Proposals, June 2026

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

We have sufficient Brazilian football managers for a category of there own, we already have a category for English managers. I therefore propose the following to tidy up the parent category a bit:

Currently over 700 articles, no genus has enough articles but one tribe does I therefore propose the following:

There are a lot of genera in here that dont have (yet) species articles and we dont have good categorization here so it will have to be done based on genera listed in the article. Waacstats (talk) 22:20, 14 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy: French regional train station stub categories

[edit]
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 Category:Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes railway station stubs only.
Follow-up to Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals/Archive/2023/January#French regional train station stub categories. Of the eight categories requested by Epluribusunumyall (talk · contribs), I created two in January 2023 and left the others, stating oppose Corsica, and weak oppose the other four (presume my typo for "five"). Since then, the use of {{AuvergneRhôneAlpes-railstation-stub}} has grown from 27 to 41 transclusions, which is the same count that {{GrandEst-railstation-stub}} had when I created its category, and on those grounds I intend creating Category:Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes railway station stubs soon. Of the other categories not created in 2023, there has been little growth:

I can see that there may now also be grounds for creating Category:Bourgogne-Franche-Comté railway station stubs and Category:Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur railway station stubs. Should I (a) create only the cat for Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes; (b) create three cats, those for Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté and Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur; or (c) create all categories except that for Corsica? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 07:24, 29 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

I would create the templates but leave all of them upmerged for now; the parent cat is by no means oversized. Oppose as the 60+ guideline is not met. I just CfD'd an (unproposed) underpopulated stub category because it had only 33 articles, so I tend to stick to the 60+ articles guideline. Just imho. Her Pegship (?) 19:26, 29 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@Pegship: please read the proposal again. All these templates already exist (they're blue links, not red); my request is to create the categories. The templates were created fifteen years ago, by Dawynn (talk · contribs), following Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals/Archive/2011/May#Category:French rail station stubs split - all are listed there, except {{BourgogneFrancheComté-railstation-stub}}, which was moved from {{Burgundy-railstation-stub}} in December 2017. As regards the number of articles, I refer you to this approval: at the time, Grand Est had 41 articles, and Brittany had 32. My option (a) above is to create a category for a template that now has 41 transclusions, the same amount that Grand Est had three years ago. My option (b) would also create cats for templates that are now approaching the previous count for Brittany. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:11, 29 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]
Anyone else have an opinion on this? Her Pegship (?) 19:03, 5 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]

Category:North West England railway station stubs (6) has over 200 member pages. It also has two sub-categories, Category:Greater Manchester railway station stubs (144) and Category:Merseyside railway station stubs (65), corresponding to two of the five ceremonial counties in North West England. I propose that the other three counties should also have a sub-category and corresponding stub template, as follows:

For Vysočina Region geography stubs:

Come to think of it, should Vysočina Region geography stubs be a parent-only stub category? - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 19:41, 22 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
These stub categories were created despite Vysočina Region was not overpopulated, and were never used. IMHO they should never have been created and should be deleted. The division of stub types by region is consistent across the Czech Republic geo stubs and this only creates an inconsistency. FromCzech (talk) 13:03, 23 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@FromCzech so should all of the district templates (such as those in Central Bohemian Region geography stubs, too) be deleted as well? I'm a bit confused. I thought the district templates were supposed to add a more specific classification... - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 14:13, 23 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest deleting them too. There used to be over 800 stubs in that category, so they had a reason, but now they don't and they won't.
Then in Category:Pardubice Region geography stubs, 2 out of 4 districts also have a stub sort that was probably never used. I would delete those too. There are no district stub categories in the remaining 11 regions. FromCzech (talk) 17:39, 23 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
@FromCzech If you're proposing a deletion, you might wanna start a new CFD proposal. Stub templates can be proposed, too! :D - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 18:08, 23 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]

According to the category this is not a parent only category, yet it only has templates for about 10 countries.

We already have a category for North America that implies it covers the central American countries but no way of getting these in there.

I propose removing the parent only status of the category and creating or {{NorthAm-RC-church-stub}}

We create a {{CentralAm-RC-church-stub}} and {{Bermuda-RC-church-stub}} I'm happy with either, but would prefer the first so as to not to add to the templates in the bermuda category. Waacstats (talk) 12:38, 13 April 2026 (UTC)[reply]
