Proposals, July 2018
Please check how many articles qualify for a stub type before proposing it.
NEW PROPOSALS
Subcats of Othoptera stubs
Category:Orthoptera stubs has 1298 articles, currently. The insect order Orthoptera is divided into two suborders: Ensifera and Caelifera. I note the following search results, showing that at least 429 of the Orthoptera stubs seem to belong in Ensifera: [1], and at least 118 of them seem to belong in Caelifera: [2]. Those searches only catch articles where the applicable suborder is actually mentioned, so a great many are missed, which can be identified on closer inspection. (I can provide more evidence if needed.) I propose stub categories: Category:Ensifera stubs and Category:Caelifera stubs, which should suffice to almost completely depopulate the parent category, except for stubs dealing with Orthopterans in general. Subsequent further subdivision is likely to be desired, but I figure we start here. -GTBacchus(talk) 09:28, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
- Support, I did some research with PetScan, got the following results
- Category:Orthoptera stubs and Category:Ensifera - 100 results from PetScan PSID 5142490
- Category:Orthoptera stubs and Category:Caelifera - 675 results from PetScan PSID 5142545
- Interesting that PetScan counts seem to be the inverse of what the search results suggest. - Furicorn (talk) 10:25, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
Flanders stubs
- Qualifying articles: 9968
- Create Template:Flanders-stub and Category:Flanders stubs. Especially since we already have the Wallonia versions. Flanders and Wallonia are twins, counterparts. I'm surprised that we have one and not the other. — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs) 20:28, 8 July 2018 (UTC)
- The Category:Wallonia stubs is populated by geo-stub sub-cats, thusly:
- Belgian Luxembourg geography stubs (67 P)
- Namur geography stubs (89 P)
- Walloon Brabant geography stubs
- Hainaut geography stubs (155 P)
- Liège geography stubs (132 P)
- Likewise, there are several Flanders geography stub categories:
- Antwerp geography stubs (96 P)
- East Flanders geography stubs (109 P)
- Flemish Brabant geography stubs (95 P)
- Belgian Limburg geography stubs (44 P)
- West Flanders geography stubs (146 P)
- It appears that the only reason to create a parent cat for Flanders geo-stubs is to mirror the Wallonia geo-stubs parent; very few of the articles in Category:Flanders are about anything but geography. Tentative support creation of parent cat Category:Flanders stubs; no support for {{Flanders-stub}}. Would rather create parent cat Category:Flanders geography stubs without a template.

Must Overcome Tedium to Handle Stub-sort (M.O.T.H.S)
Same staggered approach. Same precedent for genus-level categories. As always, article-numbers given for existing categories do not include numbers in their extant subcategories; unless explicitly stated otherwise, estimated article numbers given for proposed categories do not include numbers for articles in simultaneously-proposed subcategories. Unless otherwise stated, most if not all articles for the proposed subcategories can be found in the lowest-level extant stub category I'm proposing it as subcategory of.
In part who-even-knows-anymore-plus-one of this saga, I'd like to propose the following:
For existing category Category:Drepanidae stubs (just shy of 800 stubs, no subcategories), the following subcategories and templates:
- Category:Drepaninae stubs/{{Drepaninae-stub}}: ~470-489 stubs. (I've just finished diffusing the non-stub counterpart categories and as usual, it's just about all stubs. Wouldn't be surprised to find it's all stubs, tbh, just not able/willing to guarantee it)
- Category:Thyatirinae stubs/{{Thyatirinae-stub}}: ~290-300 stubs. (Same as above)

- Five days past, creating. AddWittyNameHere (talk) 17:10, 10 July 2018 (UTC)
- Drepaninae done. Thyatirinae in progress. About 30% done, taking a bit of a break before wrapping up. AddWittyNameHere (talk) 00:16, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
- And done, if a little later than expected. Adding to stub types list now. AddWittyNameHere 00:00, 12 July 2018 (UTC)

The moths go ever on and on
Same staggered approach. Same precedent for genus-level categories. As always, article-numbers given for existing categories do not include numbers in their extant subcategories; unless explicitly stated otherwise, estimated article numbers given for proposed categories do not include numbers for articles in simultaneously-proposed subcategories. Unless otherwise stated, most if not all articles for the proposed subcategories can be found in the lowest-level extant stub category I'm proposing it as subcategory of.
In part who-even-knows-anymore of this saga, I'd like to propose the following:
For existing subcategory Category:Blastobasidae stubs (494 stubs, no extant subcategories), the following subcategories and templates:
Due to lack of taxonomic certainty, no subfamily-level stubcategories are proposed.
- Category:Blastobasis stubs/{{Blastobasis-stub}}: Species in genus Blastobasis. ~160-170 stubs. (Based upon Category:Blastobasis holding 175 articles, combined with an at-a-glance estimate of articles in Category:Blastobasidae stubs showing by and far most Blastobasis articles are stubs. Par for the course with moths, sadly.)
- Category:Holcocera stubs/{{Holcocera-stub}}: Genus Holcocera and all species stubs. 67 stubs.
- Category:Hypatopa stubs/{{Hypatopa-stub}}: Genus Hypatopa and species stubs. 84 stubs.
For existing subcategory Category:Cosmopterigidae stubs (1540 stubs, 1 extant subcategory), the following:
- Category:Antequerinae stubs/{{Antequerinae-stub}}. 67 articles. (Antequerinae and all genus- and species-level stubs of genera Alloclita, Antequera,Chalcocolona, Cnemidolophus,Cosmiosophista, Euclemensia, Gibeauxiella, Lamachaera,
Meleonoma,(see below) Pancalia and Phosphaticola.)
:*Category:Limnaecia stubs/{{Limnaecia-stub}}. Genus Limnaecia and species stubs. 130 stubs. EDIT:Striking this, see below
- Category:Macrobathra stubs/{{Macrobathra-stub}}. Genus Macrobathra and species stubs. 123 stubs.

- Trusting (as usual) that you know what you're about taxonomy-wise, support. Pegship (talk) 16:19, 2 July 2018 (UTC)
- One support, no opposition, five days and about two hours since proposing...time to create. AddWittyNameHere (talk) 02:27, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
- Blastobasidae subcategories done. Onto Cosmopterigidae it is. AddWittyNameHere (talk) 03:44, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
- EDIT: While diffusing I've made some changes to the proposed above: I see I accidentally gave Macrobathra an indent it shouldn't have had: meant to propose it separately//as subcategory of Cosmopterigidae, not of Antequerinae.
- Striking Meleonoma as genus included in Antequerinae. Too much taxonomic contradiction both within and outside en.wiki. As a result, the category would be slightly undersized (50 stubs or thereabout) if separating Limnaecia into a subcategory, so gonna sort those straight into Antequerinae stubs instead.

- & Done (but see above), now off to update the stub types list and then it's very much time for a break--my wrists are hurting. AddWittyNameHere (talk) 05:54, 7 July 2018 (UTC)
