message: The request for cleanup is the reorganization of the stubs into categories.  I'm too tired to complete this task, and I unfortunately can not fix or finish at this time. --AllyUnion (talk) 12:25, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

message: I think adding the little pics to the stub messages is annoying and adds no value.  I already thought categorized stubs were bad enough. Nelson Ricardo 05:16, Dec 1, 2004 (UTC)
:Why do you think stub categorization is bad? I think it's quite helpful, since it can focus the attention of people interested in a certain subject on articles on thatr subject that need work. Somebody who is primarily interested in anime probably isn't going to comb through the entire list of stubs regularly looking for articles he can work on.
:I agree that the images don't add any information. But annoying? The ones I've run across seem tasteful to me.  — Gwalla | Talk 18:19, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: I don't have time at the moment, but someone should add a template and category for weapon stubs. Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Stub seems to have a lot of weapon-related articles. —msh210 00:54, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

thread_title:  Weapon stubs 

message: :Template:HK-stub redirects to :Template:Hong-Kong-stub. All the articles with the HK-stub properly show :Category:Hong Kong-related stubs, but when you go to :Category:Hong Kong-related stubs, that page doesn't show any of the articles with the HK-stub. Is this a bug, or should one of the Hong Kong stub templates be deleted, with all the articles moved over to the other template? (Thank goodness there aren't too many articles using either template (see , and several of those articles should be moved to the :template:Hong-Kong-geo-stub if things do get moved.)

replies: text: Not sure what you mean by sub-region. I mean that this table is so unwieldy it should be two tables: Regional stubs (e.g., "Brazil-stub", "UK-stub") and Regional geographical stubs by region (e.g., "Brazil-geo-stub", "UK-geo-stub").  Grutness|hello?  01:16, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: Like me, you may well get fed up with waiting for all the icons and tables to load at Wikipedia:Template messages/Stubs when you want to find out which stub to use on a particular article. for that reason, I've added an extra page to my user pages (User:Grutness/Stubs) with a plain-text list of all the stub templates listed as they stand now (00:23, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: UPDATE: The full plain-text list of stub categories (formerly at User:Grutness/Stubs) is now at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Stub_sorting/Stub_types, complete with links to the templates.   Grutness|hello?  08:35, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: All the stub types

message: I've added a small section at the top of Wikipedia:Template messages/Stubs, informing any casual stub-creators of the Stub sorting wikiproject, and mentioning one or two of the the most basic guidelines. Hopefully that will mean that WP:WSS doesn't suddenly discover half a dozen previously unreported stubs and unwanted changes to what categories there are!  Grutness|hello?  10:49, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: For the reason given at m:Image server overload 2005-03, an image server which can't keep up with the number of requests it is getting, please temporarily remove the images from any of these stubs which is used by about 500 or more articles. At present, views of all pages, and even more, pages with many images, are being delayed in a queue waiting for a reply from the image server. Please don't be too keen with this and go much below 500 at present - we're trying to see if affecting only a relatively small number of uses can remove the immediate problem. Any page with the stub image removed will load faster because it will have one less wait in the queue... Jamesday 17:10, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: Hello all.  I recently created a stub on Nazi Germany articles and tried my best to add it to the table.  However, the table appears to be distorted as the last column is now cut off and the stub "spills over" to the next line.  In addition, when I added this stub to National Socialist Flyers Corps, it appeared to accept yet upon going to "Category:Nazi Germany stub articles", the article does not appear listed .  Any ideas on what the problem is?  Thanks! -Husnock 17:11, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The columns are still a problem.  Can anyone fix this?  Thanks. -Husnock 03:49, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Fixed. The problem was in the way the stub template itself was created - it was clearing the rest of the line after it.  Grutness|hello?  05:16, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
