  • {{tl|vehicle-stub}} for stubs about general automotive topics. Unfortunately, this category contains many articles, so use of one of the more targeted subcategories is recommended:
  • {{tl|truck-stub}} - for stub articles about trucks
  • {{tl|van-stub}} - for stub articles about vans
  • {{tl|auto-stub}} - for stub articles about sedan delivery vans / car derived vans

  • {{tl|motorvehicle-company-stub}} - for stub articles about automotive companies
  • {{tl|auto-factory-stub}} - for stub articles about automotive factories
  • {{tl|automotive-part-stub}} - for stub articles about automotive parts or components
  • {{tl|automotive-tech-stub}} - for stub articles about automotive technologies

  • {{tl|road-stub}} - for stub articles about general road transport
