Category:Uncategorized stubs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Use the {{Uncategorizedstub}} (or {{Uncatstub}}) tag to put articles in this category. Optionally add a data parameter such as {{Uncategorizedstub|date=April 2007}} to add it into the by-date categories.

[edit] Hints and tips

Use the most specific category you can find.
Look at similar articles to see what categories are available.
Remember to use the birth/death/living categories for articles about people. (Especially Category:Living people.)
Help other editors working on the backlog by categorizing articles even if you nominate or propose them for deletion.
When in doubt, use a temporary higher-level category, and try to leave a message on the article's talk page so that future editors can refine the categorization.
Stub and maintenance categories are considered only "temporary" categories; stubbed articles should be included in permanent categories as soon as possible.
Use this rather than the {{uncategorised}} template to stub-sorted articles, but it's preferable to simply add a category instead.
