On this WP:WSS subpage, you can propose new stub types (please read #Proposing new stubs - procedure beforehand!), as well as the reorganization and subdivision of existing stub types. You can also propose anything else related to stubs in #Other stub-related discussions.
Proposing new stubs - procedure
| Proposing new stubs | ||
If you wish to propose a new stub category and template, please follow the following procedure:
. Good number means about 60 articles or more, or 30 or more if associated with a WikiProject, though this figure may vary from case to case. | ||

{{Scotland-castle-stub}} / Category:Scottish castle stubs
This would be a subcat of . There are about 50-60 castle articles in that stub category already. There are more that are not stub tagged at present, such as Broughty Castle, Seafield Tower, Castle of Mey. Also, WikiProject Scottish Castles is now underway, and this stub cat would be a good way of organising progress. ::Supergolden:: 12:13, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
- Not brilliantly happy with this, but it's only a very weak oppose. We've started to split England by region rather than structure type, so it would make sense to do the same with Scotland - but there are country-specific stadium stubs, so castles wouldn't be too strange a split. The WikiProject is a point in its favour too, but there are only 230 Scotland-struct-stubs in total, which is a fairly low total to need a split. I'm willing to be swayed, but is it too difficult to sort through the current category? Grutness...wha? 12:33, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
{{British Columbia-stub}} / Category:British Columbia biography stubs
Two Canadian provinces already have their own stubs – Quebec and Ontario. There are a large number of articles that are stubs that would fit best into a “British Columbia-stub” (but not into the BritishColumbia-geo-stub). I suspect a good number of vancouver-stub articles more properly belong under a “British Columbia-stub”. For example, Walter Stewart Owen more properly belongs under a “British Columbia” stub than a Vancouver stub, because the reasons for his notoriety are not limited to his years in Vancouver. Other articles suitable for a BC stub include (in no degree of importance or order) Provincial Court of British Columbia and Supreme Court of British Columbia, Bait Car Program, B.C. Pavilion, Pacific Scandal, British Columbia legislature police raids scandal, Bingogate, Medical Services Plan and Alberni Valley Heritage Network. Fluit 03:20, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
- A {{BritishColumbia-stub}} (as per naming guidelines there's no space) might be useful, especially since there is a Vancouver project with its own stubs - this would be a natural parent of it. Also you didn't mention NovaScotia-stub. BUT it wouldn't be for biographies. Biographies shouldn't be split by province - they're always split by nationality and profession, and if there are bio-stubs in the Ontario-stub, Quebec-stub, NovaScotia-stub and Vancouver-stub ccategories they should be removed from them. A BritishColumbia-stub for the other things you mention might well be useful though. Do you think you can scrounge together 60 stubs? Grutness...wha? 08:53, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
Stub for Swiss Rail
We should create a Swiss railway stub such as follows: {{swiss railway-stub}} (unsigned comment by User:Booksworm.)
- To keep the name consistent with the other similar stubs it would be {{Switzerland-rail-stub}}... Are there 60 (or close to 60) articles that can use this? Grutness...wha? 23:09, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
{{Auto-bio-stub}} / Category:Auto biography stubs
There are several bios currently in Category:Automobile stubs (about 15), there are many stubs in Category:Automobile designers, some in Category:Automotive pioneers, and maybe a few from Automotive Hall of Fame. I haven't counted the unique ones up, but there should be at least 30, and this would be attached to Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Automobiles. --Interiot 21:19, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
- That's a little light. While there's a degree of dispensation for Wikiprojects, I'm not sure how open-ended it should be as regards multiple stub-types per project. (Notorious examples spring to mind.) I'd support creating a template, only, merged to Category:Automobile stubs, to facilitate sorting these, though, and future splitting to a separate stub category when it hits a more-normally-splittable number.

Well, for what it's worth, I went through and counted the unique ones listed above, and I count [[User:Interiot/Sandbox/auto-bio-stu
