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:
  1. Check the List of stub types or under Category:Stub categories to make sure that your proposed new stub does not already exist.
  2. List it at the top of the current month's section, under a header, like the ones shown (if any). Sign it with a datestamp (~~~~).
    • Please bear in mind that a stub category isn't about the importance or notability of the topic!
  3. Find a good number of stub articles, as many as you can, that will fit that template. You may use this tool to scan through categories; tagged stubs are always in Category:All stub articles and transclude {{asbox}}. Each of these articles can be:
    • currently marked with {{stub}};
    • currently marked with another type of stub tag (in which case you should justify why your tag is better for the article than the current one);
    • a stub whose categorisation is highly ambiguous or questionable;
    • not marked as a stub.
  4. If you use any category scan (from the tool mentioned above or from any other), please link to it so that other users can confirm that the results are still accurate.
  5. Others may do the same, if they so desire.
  6. 5 days after listing it here, if there is general approval or no objection, go ahead and create the new category and/or template following the format on Wikipedia:Stub. List the new stub type on the stub types list in an appropriate section. If consensus is not clear, or discussion is still ongoing, the proposal will remain open until consensus can be reached.
  7. If you wish to propose a stub type which does not currently have 60 articles that could use it, you may propose an upmerged template in a similar way. An upmerged template would feed into currently existing stub categories until such time that there are enough stubs for a separate stub category. At that point a category for it may be separately proposed. Some times, it may be difficult to be sure how many stubs would get a tag - in which case you can also start with an upmerged stub tag until you're sure there are enough.

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, April 2026

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

NEW PROPOSALS

Note to stub creators:
When creating stub types, please list them on the stub type list.

European classical musician stubs

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. Waacstats (talk) 12:38, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

Splits of magazine stubs

The following are viable from existing templates

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}}

Waacstats (talk) 12:38, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

Horse racing bios

The following is speedy ready:

This will leave the only articles in the European cateogry fed in by a french template. I propose the following to move any Italian/German etc riders/trainers into this category

  • {{Europe-horseracing-bio-stub}}

Waacstats (talk) 12:38, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

Equestrian biography stubs

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)

Tidy up Roman Catholic churches

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)

Split of United States manufacturing company stubs

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

Waacstats (talk) 12:38, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

Germany manufacturing company stubs

The following is now viable:

  • Germany manufacturing company stubs stubs {{Germany-manufacturing-company-stub}} - petscan

If someone else runs with this use the petscan as a very basic start as some of those companies aren't manufacturing but there are others in the gerany company stubs category that should be in here. Waacstats (talk) 12:38, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

Silent films

We have enough articles for the following

  • Silent action film stubs {{Silent-action-film-stub}} - petscan

Waacstats (talk) 12:38, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

South American bridges

We have enough articles for the following category:

  • South American bridge (structure) stubs {{SouthAm-bridge-struct-stub}}

We already have numerous country specific templates but proposing the template as a catch all (Bolivia, Suriname and French Guyana are missing). Waacstats (talk) 12:38, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

Syntomini sub-stub

For Syntomini stubs:

Looks good to me. Waacstats (talk) 12:38, 13 April 2026 (UTC)

Another split for Melolonthinae stubs, which is beefier than an Arby's sandwich:

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. I guess the guy creating all the missing beetle articles has moved onto here, I suspect that we will be able to find more splits shortly if the sericini stubs were anything to go by.

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

Which one is best? And are there any typos? Thanks for giving me a great full year at WPSS! :D - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 01:05, 23 February 2026 (UTC)

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

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)
