Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Stub sorting#Songs.2Fsingles stub categories

Does anyone have an opinion about the proposals for upmerged templates currently on the proposals page? Most of them have fewer than 30 possible uses. Her Pegship (?) 23:30, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

I don't know whether this has been discussed anywhere; in light of a few of the current proposals, I've been wondering what the threshold should be for creation of an upmerged template. One such proposal shows that there are only 3 articles that would qualify for {{tl|Rheiformes-stub}}, for example, and Grey Clownfish proposes that it be created and upmerged to {{cl|Bird stubs}}. To me, this begs the question as to whether every stub category needs an upmerged template for every possible sub-cat, regardless of the quantity of articles it might apply to. I'm not sure I'm expressing myself very well, but wouldn't this sort of action prompt an enormous number of barely-used templates, and wouldn't it be a lot of work to organize/track/list all of them?

I recently proposed Amphisbaenidae stubs as a category and {{t|Amphisbaenidae-stub}} and :category: Amphisbaenidae stubs were created. Having applied the template to stub articles under :category:Amphisbaenidae, I have discovered that the category tree (like my own notions about lizard classification) is out of step with the latest accepted taxonomy. What was really required was {{t|Amphisbaenia-stub}} and :category: Amphisbaenia stubs, as clade Amphisbaenia is the taxon which now holds the families formerly included in Amphisbaenidae. Would it be in order to create the required new template and category and redirect {{t|Amphisbaenidae-stub}} and :category: Amphisbaenidae stubs? There was already a redirect from {{t|Amphisbaenian-stub}}, but I'm not convinced that would the right name, because the article is called "Amphisbaenia", not "Amphisbaenian".

Hi folks - I have all the various sub-sections of Wikipedia:WikiProject_Stub_sorting/Stub_types on my watchlist, and I haven't noticed anyone updating those lists with the astounding number of newly created stub templates & cats. I'd greatly appreciate it if, when you create a template and/or cat, you would please update those lists - I'm just about keeping up with my various wiki jobs as it is. Thanks!!
