[edit] Query

Having gone through a number of the recently proposed templates I have found some for which wikipedia has no stub articles. Do i 1) create upmerged templates that have no articles ready for if someone creates some articles 2)remove from the to create list as they are not needed, 3) leave on the list till some one creates the articles or 4)any other ideas? the templates in question are{{Argentina-botanist-stub}}, , {{Paraguay-botanist-stub}}, {{Uruguay-botanist-stub}}, {{Peru-botanist-stub}}, {{Venezuela-botanist-stub}}, {{Greece-botanist-stub}}, {{Bolivia-scientist-stub}} and {{Paraguay-scientist-stub}}.

• add to that {{Paraguay-architect-stub}} and {{Bolivia-architect-stub}}. (I don't have anything against S.America honest). Waacstats (talk) 16:59, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Question re:New York counties

Hi. I was sorting articles using {{NewYork-geo-stub}} by county, and I noticed that two of the template names are differently formed: we have {{WestchesterNY-geo-stub}} and {{SuffolkNY-geo-stub}}, rather than {{WestchesterCountyNY-geo-stub}} and {{SuffolkCountyNY-geo-stub}}. I could just move them, but I don't want to mess up the system. Should I skip these in the sorting until the template names are changed? (Is this the sort of situation where I should just move them?) -GTBacchus^(talk) 15:59, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Also, {{AdirondackCountyNY-geo-stub}} doesn't seem to exist. -GTBacchus^(talk) 16:24, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

I got a reply from Pegship via email, and I've addressed these concerns now. Cheers. -GTBacchus^(talk) 02:03, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Don't forget to sort

Now that our [usually] beloved Alai and his bot are gone, we have to sort new stub types by hand...and keep up with the old ones. Please check Cat:Underpopulated stub categories and the re-sorting and oversized categories to help with maintenance. We have been creating a gazillion template which never get assigned. Very untidy! love, (mommy) Pegship (talk) 17:18, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] "Excess" counts

I've moved these to Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Excess, with an update. You may wish to sit down before reading. Alai (talk) 14:08, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Karnataka geo-stubs

At some point, someone has made geo-stub subcategories for all districts of Karnataka (see Cat:Karnataka geography stubs). They all need populating, but it is very likely that many of them will be undersized and need to be reupmerged. We won't know which ones do until the parent is sorted however, so this needs doing fairly promptly. Grutness...wha? 00:04, 8 November 2009 (UTC)
