Proposals, September 2012
Please check how many articles qualify for a stub type before proposing it.

NEW PROPOSALS
Middle-earth stubs
In sorting the stub-class articles in {{WikiProject Fictional characters}}, I have noticed a lot of Middle-Earth character articles that are stubs. Some of them have been merged into character lists and just need their talk pages updated, but I see a need for one or more stub tags to better classify these articles.
Category:Middle-earth does not currently have a category for stubs. Therefore I propose the creation of:
- {{Middle-earth-stub}} or {{ME-stub}}. This would eventually link to Category:Middle-earth stubs once populated.
- And since most of the affected articles are fictional characters, there should also be a {{ME-char-stub}} that directs to the same category initially, and maybe linked to Category:Middle-earth character stubs once populated. Please let me know which stub names to go with, so that these stub articles can be better classified. Fortdj33 (talk) 13:51, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
- Support with changes. I would approve of a {{MiddleEarth-stub}}, as this is not really intended as a subcategory for an {{earth-stub}}, and {{ME-stub}} would be unclear (wouldn't want to confuse Middle Earth with Maine). I would further suggest initially upmerging to Category:Fictional universe stubs. For the characters, I would use {{MiddleEarth-char-stub}}, upmerging to Category:Fictional character stubs, with a second upmerge (for the sake of keeping them together) to Category:Fictional universe stubs.

Done. Thanks for the suggestions in changes of the stub names! So far, I am only through the F's alphabetically in sorting fictional characters articles, so I will wait until 60+ articles are using {{MiddleEarth-char-stub}} before creating Category:Middle-earth character stubs.

More speedy sports stubs
A bit of a mixed bag of sport stubs to start the month off, templates already exist and are used on 60+ articles
- {{Japan-golf-bio-stub}} - Category:Japanese golf biography stubs
- {{SouthKorea-boxing-bio-stub}} - Category:South Koreean boxing biography stubs
- {{PRChina-weightlifting-bio-stub}} - Category:Chinese weightlifting biography stubs
should tidy a few of the bigger categories up for a bit. Waacstats (talk) 11:05, 4 September 2012 (UTC)
