No, I don't object to that article being categorized as a stub at all. ----DanTD (talk) 01:57, 22 November 2007 (UTC) Reply

Hi, I was just wondering why you didn't transclude {{Stubclass}} rather than adding your own boilerplate text message in your bot run. Perhaps you didn't know it exists (it's trancluded by various other templates but not so well known... :))

Also, you may find my plugin helpful. No reply needed. Cheers. --kingboyk (talk) 16:12, 24 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Please use the proper tools! edit

Man, you didn't take any notice of my last request, and I'm gonna block the bot if you carry on: {{WPBiography}} already has a parameter for auto-stubbing by bots; not only will it display the boilerplate text nicely formatted but it adds the talk page to a category. Please use the proper template parameter and quit adding a mass of ugly boilerplate text to talk pages!


Also, you might want to use the Kingbotk plugin for WPBiography templating, as it will skip all known instances of the Bio template under the various names it can be found, tidy up the formatting etc. However, it doesn't understand the {{WikiProjectBannerShell}} template yet so you'd have to put that into "Skip if contains". --kingboyk (talk) 18:42, 13 January 2008 (UTC) (AWB developer, and de facto template guy for WPBiography)Reply

Also, the correct name of the template is {{WPBiography}} (the name you use is a redirect), and the importance= parameter should be priority= (it's been renamed priority= since 2006). You shouldn't be doing this work if you can't get these basic details right. For example, every time somebody makes an importance= parameter active, it'll mean that later on my bot will have to come along and change it to priority. --kingboyk (talk) 01:18, 14 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
