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
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:
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"
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, August 2025
Please check how many articles qualify for a stub type before proposing it.
NEW PROPOSALS
Minas Gerais geography stubs
Over 600 articles, this one will be a bit difficult as I cant find a decent category structure to use as a basis for a petscan search, it seems the regions changes in 2017? so a hand search will be needed at least to complete this. Obviously templates first, categories iff they pass 60.
- Intermediate Geographic Region of Belo Horizonte stubs {{BeloHorizonte-stub}}
- Intermediate Geographic Region of Divinópolis stubs {{Divinópolis-stub}}
- Intermediate Geographic Region of Governador Valadares stubs {{GovernadorValadares-stub}}
- Intermediate Geographic Region of Ipatinga stubs {{Ipatinga-stub}}
- Intermediate Geographic Region of Juiz de Fora stubs {{JuizdeFora-stub}}
- Intermediate Geographic Region of Montes Claros stubs {{MontesClaros-stub}}
- Intermediate Geographic Region of Patos de Minas stubs {{PatosdeMinas-stub}}
- Intermediate Geographic Region of Pouso Alegre stubs {{PousoAlegre-stub}}
- Intermediate Geographic Region of Teófilo Otoni stubs {{TeófiloOtoni-stub}}
- Intermediate Geographic Region of Uberaba stubs {{Uberaba-stub}}
- Intermediate Geographic Region of Uberlândia stubs {{Uberlândia-stub}}
- Intermediate Geographic Region of Varginha stubs {{Varginha-stub}}

Erebinae stubs
Over 600, needs a resort as it looks like some genus have moved out of one sub cat, to catch some of this I propose:
Waacstats (talk) 16:41, 31 August 2025 (UTC)
Marginellidae stubs
Another one over 600, looking at the category alot begin Marginella therefore I propose:
- Marginella stubs {{Marginella-stub}} - can't get petscan to sort by name and lots of other genus connect to the main article.
Waacstats (talk) 16:41, 31 August 2025 (UTC)
Hepialidae stubs
Over 600 articles, could do with a trim. the following are viable based on names rather categories:
Waacstats (talk) 16:41, 31 August 2025 (UTC)
Pooideae stubs
over 600 articles, the following appears viable:
- Festuca stubs {{Festuca-stub}} - petscan
Waacstats (talk) 16:41, 31 August 2025 (UTC)
Heterobranchia stubs
These are both a bit odd, I have found 200 articles that belong in a sub-category or sub-sub-category the only problem is one is a "Parent only" and therefore don't have a general stub tag, the other is also "parent only" and its stub tag redirects to its grandparent I propose removing the parent only status from the two categories below and creating the matching template to allow articles from smaller sub-categories of the perm cats a way into these categories and un-redirecting the existing template to the correct category:
- Panpulmonata stubs {{Panpulmonata-stub}} - petscan - this includes the sub cat
Waacstats (talk) 16:41, 31 August 2025 (UTC)
Bombycoidea stubs
Another one over 600 articles that could do with a split. I propsoe the following:
- Brahmaeidae stubs {{Brahmaeidae-stub}} - petscan
- Endromidae stubs {{Endromidae-stub}} - petscan
- Eupterotidae stubs {{Eupterotidae-stub}} - petscan
Waacstats (talk) 16:41, 31 August 2025 (UTC)
American Civil War biography stubs
over 600 articles, I propose splitting out the soldiers and sailors of either side:
- Union army biography stubs {{Union-army-bio-stub}} - petscan
- Union Navy biography stubs {{Union-Navy-bio-stub}} - petscan
- Confederate States Army biography stubs {{ConfederateStates-Army-bio-stub}} - petscan
- Confederate States Navy biography stubs {{ConfederateStates-Navy-bio-stub}} - petscan - may be small so template first and a hand sort may get it to 60
for some reason the category has a lower case a for army inn the Union army category, everything is uppercase so I have followed suit Waacstats (talk) 16:41, 31 August 2025 (UTC)
New South Wales geography stubs
A good split already started on this +600 category. I porose continueing that split with:
Waacstats (talk) 16:41, 31 August 2025 (UTC)
Photography stubs
another one over 600, could do with a trim. I believe enough of the articles relate to lenses though I think the petscan results include a number of false positives.
Waacstats (talk) 16:41, 31 August 2025 (UTC)
Georgia_(U.S._state)_politician_stubs
Over 600, could do with a trim I propose following the exammple of many other states and split out the state level politicians. I am not 100% convinced we need the disambig here but thought better to keep it inline with the politician parent:
- Members of the Georgia House of Representatives stubs stubs {{GeorgiaUS-GARepresentative-stub}} - petscan
- Georgia (U.S. state) state senators stubs {{GeorgiaUS-GASenate-stub}} - petscan
There will be about 50 overlapping. Waacstats (talk) 16:41, 31 August 2025 (UTC)
Faboideae stubs
Over 600 articles I have found the following to be large enough:
- Genisteae stubs {{Genisteae-stub}} - [https://petscan.wmcloud.org/?psid=38202434 petscan (56)
- Lupinus stubs {{Lupinus-stub}} - Already exists
Waacstats (talk) 16:41, 31 August 2025 (UTC)

This weeks finds:
- Welsh poet stubs {{Wales-poet-stub}}
- Turkey university stubs {{Turkey-university-stub}}
- Acteonidae stubs {{Acteonidae-stub}}
- Mirbelioids stubs {{Mirbelieae-stub}} - template name is per article, i have taken category name to match perm cat

Split in Turkey

Võru County geography stubs
Pushing 700 articles could do with a split I propose splitting by parish, one of these may be a bit short so templates first, categories iff they reach 60:
- Antsla Parish geography stubs {{AntslaParish-geo-stub}} - petscan
- Rõuge Parish geography stubs {{RõugeParish-geo-stub}} - petscan
- Setomaa Parish geography stubs {{SetomaaParish-geo-stub}} - petscan

Waacstats (talk) 16:41, 31 August 2025 (UTC)
Speedy categories
I will likely create these when I'm at my computer next time:
- Oregon County, Missouri, geography stubs; {{OregonCountyMO-geo-stub}}
- Texas County, Missouri, geography stubs; {{TexasCountyMO-geo-stub}} - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 03:07, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
- Might be worth having the -river-stub for each one double upmerged to there as well as the river category (look at my speedy from last week), might also make a couple of other counties viable?. Waacstats (talk) 08:08, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
Spilomelinae sub-stubs
Some of the stubs in Spilomelinae stubs are of the Hydririni tribe; as such, I'd like to propose a subcategory/template:
- Hydririni stubs, {{Hydririni-stub}}; should at least contain Lamprosema stubs, as well as any articles beginning with
- OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 01:46, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
- I also plan on making {{Herpetogrammatini-stub}} for those belonging to the following genera of Herpetogrammatini (these don't have their own stub category):
- - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 02:04, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
- Great catch, these need a good breakdown. Waacstats (talk) 08:09, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
Coccinellidae stubs
Coccinellidae stubs is hella big; I propose making the following sub-stubs (based on subfamily, tribe, then genera): Coccinellinae stubs, {{Coccinellinae-stub}}

- Support, however I would suggest making templates for the tribe level, I think there are other genera that could go there and if there aren't now there may be in the future if the biologist decide to move genera around. Waacstats (talk) 08:14, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
- I just included the tribe templates in my request. I'm getting ready to go to class - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 13:46, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
- A note to any admins looking for any empty categories: I'm currently working on these, but I'm not at home right now - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 18:13, 28 August 2025 (UTC)
Ardabil province geography sub-stubs
Main stub category: Ardabil province geography stubs. I'm back before school starts to make proposals:
