'''Andrew Brian Davis''' maintains several websites, including the About The Muslim Community of Western Suburbs (A MCWS), which highlights the alleged connection between the Muslim Community of Western Suburbs (MCWS), Terrorism, and Male Supremacy. He states that the purpose of his websites is to expose the dubious activities that occur in American mosques and that such a connection can only be drawn by the reader.

He is the founder and director of an organization, the American Terror Watch, that sends spies into American mosques to spy on American Muslims in order to understand whether there is a link between American Muslims and terrorism. These spies are knowledgeable about Islamic culture and thus are able to navigate Muslim culture with ease, though only pretending to be Muslims. The information these spies obtain is then publicized on one of the many websites that he or his colleagues run.
Would it be possible to add content to the code that would automatically add stubbed items to [[:Category:American writers]]? That would be a helpful addition, obviating the need for a separate action at the time of article composition as a stub. This would need to be a parameterized alteration so that the indexing term for the category is required at the time of stub template addition.

:I've never seen that done to other stubs, and I don't think it's desired behaviour. Once the stub has grown enough you are supposed to remove the stub tag and then you'd have to add <nowiki>[[Category:American writers|<whatever>]]</nowiki> to it anyway. Pluss if it's for example a novelist then <nowiki>[[Category:American novelists|<whatever>]]</nowiki> should be used instead and the American writers part becomes redundant contributing to bloading that category unnessesarily. It might be an idea to add the stub cat itself as a child of [[:Category:American writers]] though. That way people browsing for American writers will be more likely to find it. In fact I think I'll do that right now. --[[User:Sherool|Sherool]] 14:19, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
