{{Brevicipitidae-stub}} this stub template has only 16 stubs related to it how can it be made into an upmerged template — Preceding unsigned comment added by Massimo510 (talk • contribs) 05:39, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

@Massimo510: This stub template has several problems: but why did you create it without first obtaining approval on this page? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 11:26, 31 May 2022 (UTC)

{{2010s-pop-rock-album-stub}} has 74 transclusions and is a template at Category:2010s rock album stubs. In order to help reduce the backlog, I request a subcategory for 2010s pop rock album stubs as there's enough transclusions for an upmerge. Thanks! --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 22:42, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

Indian Television Channel stub + category

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed creation of the stub template and/or category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the template's or category's talk page (if any). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the debate was create category once 60+ articles are found.
I request for creation of the stub type {{indian television channel stub}}, and a category with the same name is also needed. Lists of television channels in India This article is a proof of the number of Indian TV channels and all the article must be grouped into a stub and category. It would be really useful if this stub type is created. Thanks for reviewing this request. Regards, Itcouldbepossible^Talk 11:17, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

I see that there's already a template for {{India-tv-station-stub}}, attached to 37 articles and upmerged to Category:Indian television stubs; a Petscan search for articles tagged with asbox templates (that is, stub templates) under Category:Television stations in India turned up 57 articles, which includes those 37. If there's a WikiProject for Indian television, I recommend we de-upmerge the existing {{India-tv-station-stub}} and give it a category; if not, I suggest we wait until the template is used on 60 articles and then create the category. tl;dr I think the existing {{India-tv-station-stub}} is sufficient; oppose creation of {{India-tv-channel-stub}}. Her Pegship (?) 15:55, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

@Pegship Sorry for this late reply. I had lost track of this.

Well, that category you pointed out, is basically, for 'all' indian television related stubs, which includes even the tv station stub too. That is why, india-tv-station-stub may have 37 articles, but since the category is a mix of the two, it gas 57 articles. There is no project for Indian television specifically. There is a wikiproject for television though. Thanks. Itcouldbepossible^Talk 14:47, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. It's an "upmerged" template, meaning that it feeds into existing categories until it qualifies for its own. I checked how many articles are linked to the template (37, +20 more that could be linked), not in Category:Indian television stubs itself (278). Bottom line: we have a template already for TV stations in India; do we want to create a category? Her Pegship (?) 15:44, 30 May 2022 (UTC)

@Pegship Could we have a category like Category:Indian TV stations or Category:TV stations in India linked to the {{India-tv-station-stub}}. Is that possible? Itcouldbepossible ^Talk 04:59, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

Category:Television stations in India does exist; if a stub category for India-tv-station-stub were created, it would be a sub-category of that one. Stub templates are linked only to stub categories, for many reasons which I won't belabor here. Her Pegship (?) 14:39, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

Mexico-politician-NationalRegeneration-stub + redirect

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed creation of the stub template and/or category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the template's or category's talk page (if any). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the debate was redirect from -Morena- to -NationalRegeneration- kept.
{{Mexico-politician-NationalRegeneration-stub}} has 51 transclusions is at Category:Mexican politician stubs. I found that {{Mexico-politician-Morena-stub}} has 40 transclusions and redirects to the NationalRegeneration template. Would it be appropriate to replace the Morena template with the NationalRegeneration template or the other way around? The article name is Morena (political party), which is an abbreviation of National Regeneration Movement. If so, then it'd be enough transclusions for an upmerged template (51+40=91) at Mexican politician stubs and help reduce the stub backlog. Thanks! --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 01:03, 17 May 2022 (UTC)

Imho, since "Movimiento Regeneración Nacional" redirects to "Morena (political party)" in article space, I'd support consolidation under Mexico-politician-Morena-stub and a redirect to it from Mexico-politician-NationalRegeneration-stub. Her Pegship (?) 17:23, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

NorthMacedonia politician stubs + 2 redirects

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed creation of the stub template and/or category above. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the template's or category's talk page (if any). No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the debate was Re-tag variants with NorthMacedonia-politician-stub template.
{{NorthMacedonia-politician-stub}} has 48 transclusions and is a template at Category:European politician stubs. I discovered that {{RMacedonia-politician-stub}} (16 transclusions) and {{Macedonia-politician-stub}} (26 transclusions) both redirect to {{NorthMacedonia-politician-stub}}. I was wondering if the RMacedonia and Macedonia templates should be replaced with the NorthMacedonia template. If so, there'd be enough translcusions for an upmerged template (48+16+26=88) at European politician stubs. Thought I should ask here first. Thanks! --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 18:29, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

I believe "North Macedonia" is the current official name of the country; Republic of Macedonia was its name until 2019, and "Macedonia" refers to a region, not a country. Sooooo... I'm guessing it would be appropriate to replace {{RMacedonia-politician-stub}} and {{Macedonia-politician-stub}} on those articles (as proposed) and keep the redirects?

The result of the debate was create as Guinean politician stubs.
{{Guinea-politician-stub}} has 73 transclusions and is a template at Category:West African politician stubs. In order to help reduce the backlog at West African politician stubs, I propose making Guinea-politician-stub into a subcategory as there's enough to upmerge. --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 18:16, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

Category:South African politician stubs

So the two ways I could sort this cat is by region or party. While the cat size is 400, well over half of these are members of ANC, so it would kinda defeat the purpose to do an exclusively party sort, as this would leave the other smaller party pols and historical biographies unsorted in the big category, while also just splitting one large category into two large categories. So I'm proposing a regional split (luckily SA only has 9 provinces). This would allow all of this category to be further sorted (for example, this man who doesn't have a party but DOES have a constituency), while also leaving the door open for a further sort in the future by party list.

n.b. The use of ZA in number 7 is not a typo; as I followed Category:South Africa geography stubs as a baseline, ZA is the ISO code for the country.
