Please check how many articles qualify for a stub type before proposing it.

NEW PROPOSALS

Accipitriformes stubs

Within the birds of prey, the split of biological order Accipitriformes from Falconiformes is now well-accepted. This makes the {{Falconiformes-stub}} look anachronistic when placed on an article for a bird that belongs to the other group.

Of the 145 articles currently tagged, most are Accipitriformes and only about 23 are true Falconiformes. What would be a good way to handle this? Can we create a "diurnal raptors" parent category and redirect or upmerge? I'm thinking that a temporary redirect would be good until the Accipitriformes can be re-tagged with a new template.

Most of the other bird stubs are grouped by Order, so I'd prefer to see a separate Falconiformes stub category, even if it has less than 30 pages. But if that's not allowable, we should at least have separate templates for Accipitriformes and Falconiformes to improve the presentation of the articles on which they appear.

River stubs

There are over 23,000 stubs in WikiProject Rivers and 2095 in Brazil alone. Has there been some decision made about not creating stub templates and categories like {{Brazil-river-stub}} and Category:Brazil river stubs? The only similar categories that I'm finding are for Queensland and China. I'd be happy to build out the South American countries if there is some consensus to do this. giso6150 (talk) 14:37, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

Support; you may also want to do Australia, as the country which Queensland belongs to - even if there are 5 rivers, it woulld be enough for a normal stub category. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 16:20, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

I strongly suspect that I will end up nominating the China category for upmerging, as undersized; hpwever, I'm not ready to commit myuself to such a nomination until the tree is more or less populated. 15:35, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
