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
editImportant: 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:
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"
editA 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. Many templates qualifying for S2 are listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/To do/To create.
List speedy creation proposals in the same proposal listings as normal stub proposals below.
Proposals, July 2024
editPlease check how many articles qualify for a stub type before proposing it.
NEW PROPOSALS
editExoristinae subcategories
editTachininae subcategories
editVery similar to the above - Category:Tachininae stubs is large (744 articles, with no articles sortable into its existing subcategories) and has some subcategories that can be made from it.
- Tachinini: 176 articles
- Leskiini: 83 articles
- Ernestiini: 62 articles
- Polideini: 54 articles (could be upmerged since it's close to 60, but not over 60)
Creating all of these subcategories would halve the size of the Tachininae category (from 744 to 369). Suntooooth, it/he (talk/contribs) 15:46, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- Support per nom. Her Pegship (?) 19:05, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- Would you recommend upmerging the Polideini one, or is 54 articles close enough to 60 that it can get its own subcategory? Suntooooth, it/he (talk/contribs) 22:56, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
- Pinging @Pegship: see the above :] (not sure if you're subscribed to this discussion) Suntooooth, it/he (talk/contribs) 18:11, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
- Whoops, I missed that. I think it's close enough. Anyone else? Her Pegship (?) 18:26, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

Proposals, June 2024
editSplitting "Post" and "Philately"
editHi. There is the ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Post and philately stubs, which includes two well-populated templates: {{Postal-stub}} and {{Philately-stub}}. I propose to rename the ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Post and philately stubs as ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Postal system stubs (including {{Postal-stub}}), and afterwards create the ‹The template Category link is being considered for merging.› Category:Philately stubs (including {{Philately-stub}}). Best, Fadesga (talk) 22:25, 30 June 2024 (UTC)
- Numbers-wise, {{postal-stub}} is used on 105 articles and {{philately-stub}} on 411. So, support. Her Pegship (?) 18:00, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

This WP:WSS subpage was for discoveries of stub templates not cleared by WikiProject Stub sorting which have been encountered on Wikipedia. It was closed down due to excessive bureaucracy and several issues that hadn't been addressed after six years. If you discover a stub that you feel should be deleted or merged, please discuss at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion. For other discussions, please start a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Stub sorting.
