Spanish geography stub types
Template:Sfd top Despite being told several times over the past year and a half when he caused various problems for stub-sorting, that stub types have certain standards and that the naming, creation, and upkeep of them has to meet certain criteria, User:Satesclop has recently been creating and modifying a considerable number of templates. New ones in the last few days - apart from the Ceuta and Melilla ones mentioned yesterday - include the following problematical templates and categories:
- {{BalearicIslands-geo-stub}}/Category:Balearic Islands geography stubs - will almost certainly need upmerging, and the template should
probablydefinitely be at {{Balearics-geo-stub}} , since the term "Balearics" is unambiguous (we usually only use the XIslands form if doing otherwise would be confusing, and since the non geo equivalent is at {{Balearics-stub}}. - {{Cantabria-geo-stub}}/Category:Cantabria geography stubs - will almost certainly need upmerging
- {{Murcia-geo-stub}}/Category:Region of Murcia geography stubs - will almost certainly need upmerging
- Category:Valencian Community geography stubs - a duplicate of the existing Category:Valencia geography stubs, but potentially a better name. One of the should be deleted, probably the plain Valencia one.
- Category:La Rioja geography stubs - well below threshold (18 stubs) and misnamed (there are two La Riojas - this should be, if kept - at Category:La Rioja (Spain) geography stubs. Delete, unless in can be got to threshold - if it can, rename.
He also made changes to 12 other geo-stub categories - largely involving removing parent categories and interwiki links - and 9 other geo-stub templates, all of which have been either partially or completely reverted. Grutness...wha? 08:38, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
Granada
On a related subject, one of Satesclop's earlier unproposed creations was Category:Granada province geography stubs. It has reached threshold, but should be at Category:Granada (province) geography stubs. Rename. Grutness...wha? 08:44, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
- If there are stubs of Andalusia, Estremadura, La Rioja, Canary Islands, Aragon or Castile and León, why there can no be categories of the rest of Spanish autonomies?
- This happens because an ignoramus from New Zealand interferes in matters that he does not know on Spain... Satesclop 20:00, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you for your kind words. I suggest you read the rules on when stub categories should and should not be made, as laid out at WP:STUB. While you're there, it would be worth your while to also read WP:Etiquette. Grutness...wha? 01:44, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
- No one, ignoramus or otherwise, has proposed such categories in the correct venue, Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals. If you want something done, do it properly. Rename Granada, btw. Pegship (talk) 20:08, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
- Those keeping track may be interested to know that I've just had to roll back about 40 changes that Satesclop made to geo-stub categories and templates. He's one step away from a block. Grutness...wha? 02:42, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
- Alas, I'm waiting for someone else to close this, as you and I are interested parties. Pegship (talk) 21:25, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
- I've left a note with someone who can hopefully close it. Grutness...wha? 00:35, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
