According to the category this is not a parent only category, yet it only has templates for about 10 countries. I propose {{Europe-classical-musician-stub}} to get the rest of the countries musicians in here without adding to the number of templates in the by country bio categories.

The following are viable from existing templates

• Magazines published in Germany stubs {{Germany-mag-stub}} and {{Germany-lit-mag-stub}}
• Magazines published in France stubs {{France-mag-stub}}, {{France-poetry-mag-stub}} and {{France-lit-mag-stub}}

going through the magazine stub subcategories i notice we don't have the following that I would have used instead of the media template on loads of articles:

• Magazines published in the United States stubs {{US-mag-stub}}

The following is speedy ready:

We have some by continent sub categories of this. HOwever the main category could be reduced down by removeing the parent only status from these and creating the following templates:

• {{Asia-equestrian-bio-stub}}
• {{Europe-equestrian-bio-stub}}
• {{NorthAm-equestrian-bio-stub}}
• {{SouthAm-equestrian-bio-stub}}

would allow us to clear the riders from smaller countries without flooding other categories with templates. Waacstats (talk) 12:38, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

We already have a category for North America that implies it covers the central American countries but no way of getting these in there.

I propose removing the parent only status of the category and creating or {{NorthAm-RC-church-stub}}

OR

We create a {{CentralAm-RC-church-stub}} and {{Bermuda-RC-church-stub}} I'm happy with either, but would prefer the first so as to not to add to the templates in the bermuda category. Waacstats (talk) 12:38, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

Someone has pushed this category over 800 articles and it could therefore do with a very serious trim. I propose the following as a start to reducing this down:

• United States motor vehicle company stubs {{US-motorvehicle-company-stub}} petscan
• United States musical instrument company stubs {{US-musical-instrument-company-stub}} petscan
• United States aeronautical company stubs {{US-aeronautical-company-stub}} petscan

Support I downloaded a list of the 400 largest stub categories on the 1st of March and this only had 564 articles, I;m also sure it wasn't much bigger than that when I proposed part of this 3 days ago.

Hi! As we all know, Trilobite stubs is very big. I'm debating on what the best way to split it would be, and I came up with two possible ideas:

1. Trilobite stubs by taxonomy. These pertain to the subcats of Trilobite taxonomy:
   1. Redlichiida stubs, {{Redlichiida-stub}}; 119
   2. Agnostida stubs, {{Agnostida-stub}}; 66
   3. Corynexochida stubs, {{Corynexochida-stub}}; 91
   4. Librostoma stubs, {{Librostoma-stub}}; 333
   5. Phacopida stubs, {{Phacopida-stub}}; 230
2. Trilobite stubs by geological period. These pertain to the subcats of Trilobites by geological period:
   1. Cambrian trilobite stubs, {{Cambrian-trilobite-stub}}; 446
   2. Devonian trilobite stubs, {{Devonian-trilobite-stub}}; 82
   3. Ordovician trilobite stubs, {{Ordovician-trilobite-stub}}; 192
   4. Silurian trilobite stubs, {{Silurian-trilobite-stub}}; 64

Recently created and already upto 1100+ articles, I propose splitting by tribes per here;

• Ablaberini stubs {{Ablaberini-stub}}

This will require sorting by hand Waacstats (talk) 18:23, 8 February 2026 (UTC)

Over 600 articles, Categorisation is all over the place with this if I remember but the following looks viable and petscan seems to show it, though a hand sort will be needed to remove the false positivies.

• Children by Greek deity stubs {{Child-GreekDeity-stub}} - petscan]

Support; my only complaint is that some of the links have typos in them @Waacstats - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 15:28, 2 February 2026 (UTC)

I presume this is that i had the categories as films instead of film. any others? Waacstats (talk) 08:42, 3 February 2026 (UTC)

"animated" was capitalized - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 12:48, 3 February 2026 (UTC)

I went back and fixed the errors. Sorry for taking a bit long to respond - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 12:49, 3 February 2026 (UTC)

Over 500 articles, I propose splitting by region, same as how we split the geo stubs.

• Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes river stubs {{AuvergneRhôneAlpes-river-stub}} - petscan]
• Bourgogne-Franche-Comté river stubs {{BourgogneFrancheComté-river-stub}} - petscan]
• Brittany river stubs {{Brittany-river-stub}} - petscan]
• Centre-Val de Loire river stubs {{Centre-river-stub}} - petscan]
• Corsica river stubs {{Corsica-river-stub}} - petscan]
• Grand Est river stubs {{GrandEst-river-stub}} - petscan]
• Hauts-de-France river stubs {{HautsdeFrance-river-stub}} - petscan]
• Île-de-France river stubs {{IledeFrance-river-stub}} - petscan]
• Normandy river stubs {{Normandy-river-stub}} - petscan]
• Nouvelle-Aquitaine river stubs {{NouvelleAquitaine-river-stub}} - petscan]
• Occitania (administrative region) river stubs {{Occitania-river-stub}} - petscan]
• Pays-de-la-Loire river stubs {{PaysLoire-river-stub}} - petscan]
• Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur river stubs {{Provence-river-stub}} - petscan]

Due to rivers running through multiple regions haveing categories and those categories being subcats of rivers of Region, careful sorting will be needed and categories only for those that finally reach 60. If anyone knows about the French regions can they check the Pays-de-la-Loire categories as wikipedia has some with "-" and some without. Waacstats (talk) 20:05, 1 February 2026 (UTC)
