North Dakota geography stubs

ND has 53 counties and one -geo- type for the whole state, used on 509 articles. May I create upmerged templates for counties whose -geo- cats contain stubs? Pegship (talk) 19:24, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

Eventually I'd like to create upmerged county templates for Arizona (1,216 stub articles, 15 counties), Colorado (609 stub articles, 64 counties), Idaho (695 stub articles, 44 counties), Montana (658 stub articles, 56 counties), Nevada (631 stub articles, 17 counties), New Mexico (525 stub articles, 33 counties), Utah (718 stub articles, 29 counties), and Wyoming (493 stub articles, 23 counties). And that's just the Western United States... Also, does anyone know a way to automate stub tagging?? Pegship (talk) 23:16, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

New York mountain and hill stubs

Add Template:NewYork-mountain-stub, have it add pages using that template to Category:New York mountain and hill stubs, which would be a subcategory to Category:New York (state) geography stubs. Category:New York (state) geography stubs currently contains 153 pages of various geography-related subjects, so I think it would be nice to separate articles that are hills or mountains. Although I haven't counted precisely, it seems like hills and mountains make up about 3/5 of the category (that's roughly 90 pages), and others make up about 2/5 of the category (roughly 60 pages).--SkyGazer 512 ^{talk / contributions / subpages} 14:40, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

Support - We don't seem to have a stub type for landforms other than rivers, and I have reun into areas where a -mountain- type would be extremely useful. Don't know if hills should be part of the name, but I bow to more experienced stubbers than myself on that. Pegship (talk) 17:44, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
It puzzles me why we don't seem to have stub templates/categories for mountains. Have all the mountain articles been developed well beyond the stub level? Presumably not: so can we start with a general {{mountain-stub}} and only go to a more local level when we need to? It's normal to go top-down with stubs, rather than bottom-up. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:31, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
Modified proposal Could we start with continent-level mountain stubs? Pegship (talk) 22:54, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
I would fully support that. It was actually created in 2005; however, it kept getting deleted for some reason.--SkyGazer 512 ^{talk / contributions / subpages} 15:29, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
At the time, the standard practice was to subdivide geographic areas by administrative regions (counties, provinces, etc.). The reasoning was that one could place stub articles about mountains into their ___location's -geo- stub category. River stubs make sense as rivers frequently cross administrative boundaries, and though I can see the previous logic in not creating mountain stub types, I don't have a problem with giving it a try. Pegship (talk) 16:24, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

Done. Should I now add mountain stubs for each continent? Mountains are a very large subject, so there are very likely thousands of stub pages related to mountains.--SkyGazer 512 ^{talk / contributions / subpages} 17:03, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

I'm probably going to start creating mountain stubs for continents as soon as maybe 2 users approve of this.--SkyGazer 512 ^{talk / contributions / subpages} 20:17, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
I've found {{China-mountain-stub}} and {{HongKong-mountain-stub}}. I wouldn't have thought HK was big enough to have many mountains. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:07, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

I think those were created out of process by someone working on the HK-China articles. Pegship (talk) 01:23, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

So, could someone please answer whether you think I should go again and create mountain stubs for each continent? Pegship? Redrose64?--SkyGazer 512 ^{talk / contributions / subpages} 12:17, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

Go for it. Pegship (talk) 16:29, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

I will! Thanks for replying.--SkyGazer 512 ^{talk / contributions / subpages} 16:44, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Done! Now I'm adding images to the stubs and adding the stubs to articles. Soon I will include these new stubs in the stub sorting.--SkyGazer 512 ^{talk / contributions / subpages} 18:27, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Before this gets underway, I suggest we change the category nomenclature to be consistent with other stub cats, to wit:

- Category:African mountain stubs --> rename as Category:Africa mountain stubs
- Category:Antarctica mountain stubs is fine
- Category:Asian mountain stubs --> rename as Category:Asia mountain stubs
- Category:Australian mountain stubs --> rename as Category:Australia mountain stubs
- Category:European mountain stubs --> rename as Category:Europe mountain stubs
- Category:North American mountain stubs --> rename as Category:North America mountain stubs
- Category:South American mountain stubs --> rename as Category:South America mountain stubs

See Category:River stubs for examples. Pegship (talk) 18:29, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

Done--SkyGazer 512 ^{talk / contributions / subpages} 20:54, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

I'm still sorting, but as of now {{Abbottabad-geo-stub}} and {{Swat-geo-stub}} are well over 60. Speedy create Category:Abbottabad District geography stubs and Category:Swat District geography stubs? Pegship (talk) 23:30, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

Yep. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 09:18, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
