Stub proposal; Framework For Success In Post Secondary Writing

I am proposing a new stub for the Framework For Success In Post Secondary Writing. This document is highly influential and created from all different perspectives. While it is not extensive enough to be an actual article I am proposing a stub Yeahhidk (talk) 21:53, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Yeahhidk: Please see the box at the top of this page, the one with red writing beginning "NOTE". --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:58, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Current events stub articles

I notice that there have been more and more articles tagged with {{stub}} which have to do with current events - for example, Parachinar school shooting and Assassination of Girma Yeshitila (which has been redirected already). Typically there are not many details about the incident described, thus it gets marked as a stub article. Is there consensus on how these should be tagged? Should they get a stub tag, and if so, should they be tagged with the country/sport/medium in which the event occurs? Or is there another template/notice that will bring it to the attention of editors who deal with current events? Any advice? Thanks in advance - Her Pegship (?) 20:48, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hundreds of stub categories by Fadesga

I notice that User:Fadesga has been very active in creating stub categories since June 2022 [1] but I can find no record that any of these categories went through the stub sorting proposal procedure that the stub category banner says all stub categories must go through. Is there some other channel for stub category creation that I am missing? Or have all of these stub categories been created out-of-process? —David Eppstein (talk) 00:48, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

They've actually been very active in creating stub categories going way back to October 2012 (there were two before that, in March 2011 and August 2012), although there was a low between 2015 and 2018. Since August 2018, they have created some every month except for November 2022. Most of them seem quite well populated, here are the counts for those created in July-August this year:
Very few are below 60, the smallest is Category:Nuclear medicine stubs with 37. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 11:53, 13 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Creating "un-vetted" stub types is, alas, not uncommon, and as most of the creators just use the code from existing categories as boilerplate, the WPSS banner can be misleading. I don't know how to address this particular list of categories (I'm mildly annoyed that the few I have checked on have not been added to the big List of Stub Types), except to suggest that perhaps someone should ask Fadesga about them.

Stub categories by Joeykai

I was browsing some old stub categories I've worked with before and I noticed that User:Joeykai had created two stub categories in July 2022 (Category:English MPs 1529–1536 stubs, Category:English MPs 1563–1567 stubs) that I had either thought about proposing or had proposed in the past as part of dealing with the very large categories, but that I don't recall if it was approved. They were appropriately sized, but it struck me as a bit weird so I checked a bit further and didn't see any stub proposal discussions, nor were they listed in the List of Stub Types. I did a search[2], and here's a smattering of other stub categories I saw that this user created, but which I couldn't find on the List of Stub Types:

Can someone double check if these are legit? I tried to use petscan to get a feel for all the stub categories the user created but I didn't know how to filter on user. Furicorn (talk) 13:06, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
