[edit] Categories Stubs and Stub pages
What relation should {{stub}} which adds pages to the category Stubs have to {{welcome and expand}} which adds pages to a different category Stub pages. Should both templates add pages to the same category? Do we need both these catogories? Mystictim 15:13, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
I think there is a difference between a page that has the format of a Wikiversity learning resource (an attempt has been made to "wikify" the page) and a page that had been created and a sentence or two added or maybe a category tag. Some people use the term "sub-stub" and they have specific criteria by which a short page qualifies as a stub. Maybe "welcome and expand" should be for "sub-stubs". --JWSchmidt 15:28, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Stub types
Today I created a specialized stub type for portal of Life Sciences as an example of stub sorting proposed here. It consists from the base template Template:StubBase and the Life Sciences stub template. All the stub types could be mentioned also in Category:Stub types. In this way the stubs can be categorized by topic. Please write your opinion about this approach, if it should be continued... :) The example of usage is on my user page. --Gbaor 13:24, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
I just noticed the Stub templates category, so the Category:Stub types may be omitted. --Gbaor 14:11, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for your efforts to sort stubs. Anything you do along these lines will be a big help. Please note that Wikiversity "School:" pages are like Wikipedia's wikiprojects. It might be best to sort stubs according to school. --JWSchmidt 14:37, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
Progress report: New stub types were created according to Wikiversity:Schools, also for schools, which were not founded yet. Practical Arts and Sciences, Professional Schools and Social Sciences are not done yet. Portal:Life Sciences is not listed on this page at all, this should be fixed. The tempates are in Category:Stub templates, all of them adds the pages to separate category in Category:Stubs. Default picture is included in all templates . --Gbaor 14:21, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
- Update: Templates for all major schools were created, StubBase how-to was added.--Gbaor 11:01, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Uncategorized
What should {{Uncategorized}} be used for? It seems to add a page to both Category:Uncategorized pages and Category:Category needed which seems a bit redundent (not to mention repetitive) Also, see my note at Template talk:Uncategorized about the broken link in the box. --mikeu 01:29, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] White space
- This template seems to add excessive white space at the top of articles?? -- Jtneill - Talk 06:37, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- Do you mean {{stub}} ? I tested it and haven't seen any excessive withe space. Can you show any particular example? --Gbaor 17:35, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
[edit] stub
why name it a stub? (The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kieran2112 (talk • contribs) .)
- I think this name was introduced from Wikipedia to mark undeveloped resources. Just to be compatible with other projects somehow. --Gbaor 17:30, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
