==November 2011==

===Anthozoa stubs and Medusozoa stubs===

As mentioned on the proposals page I created these two stub categories with the intention of breaking up the overly broad Cnidarian stub category. This is my post-facto reporting of this action. [[User:Bondolo|bondolo]] ([[User talk:Bondolo|talk]]) 04:25, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

===Basque stubs===

*{{cl|Basque stubs}} & {{tl|Basque-stub}}

*{{cl|Basque people stubs}} & {{tl|Basque-bio-stub}}

As we already have similar categories for Catalonia, I don't see a problem with the creation of these, but the naming and scope needs to be thought about. In terms of scope, are we going for the modern [[Basque Country (autonomous community)]] or [[Basque Country (greater region)]] (it seems the creator scoped as the latter, but usual convention is to scope by the former). The naming issues is that we should use BasqueCountry- in the template name and {{cl|Basque stubs}} should be at {{cl|Basque Country stubs}}.

:In terms of your scope query, we already have:

:*{{cl|Ireland stubs}} & {{tl|Ireland-stub}}

:*{{cl|Irish people stubs}} & {{tl|Ireland-bio-stub}}

:... which encompasses another country with a border running through it. --[[User:Mais oui!|Mais oui!]] ([[User talk:Mais oui!|talk]]) 10:57, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

::Point of information, I have identified approx 700 Basque-related article stubs that are neither geographical nor biographical (the 2 subcats), and I haven't really been trying all that hard. I'd geusstimate that there are up to 2000 stub articles to be sorted into the main cat, and hundreds more to be sorted into the 2 subcats. --[[User:Mais oui!|Mais oui!]] ([[User talk:Mais oui!|talk]]) 11:02, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

As we already have all of these:

* Asturias stubs‎ (1 C, 83 P)

* Balearic Islands stubs‎ (113 P)

* Brittany stubs‎ (1 C, 37 P)

* Canary Islands stubs‎ (1 C, 62 P)

* Cantabria stubs‎ (96 P)

* Catalonia stubs‎ (3 C, 329 P)

* Galicia stubs‎ (1 C, 135 P)

* Plazas de soberanía stubs‎ (60 P)

* Valencia stubs‎ (58 P)

... the omission of the Basque Country was fairly shocking. In fact, for someone used to editing Scottish, English and Irish articles, I have to say that the Spanish category system (including stubs) is pretty dire. A direness only exceeded by the poor quality of many articles and the thousands of redlinks. --[[User:Mais oui!|Mais oui!]] ([[User talk:Mais oui!|talk]]) 11:19, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

:Yes, quite, but as I wrote, "I don't see a problem with the creation of these, but the naming and scope needs to be thought about". As I said, I think they should be scoped only to the current autonomous community, the naming of the templates should be ''BasqueCountry-'' and of the main category, ''Basque Country stubs''. If there are gaps in the structure and there are enough articles to support templates/categories, it's not really an issue to create them, but the proposals system is there to iron out any problems before implementation.
