[edit] Geo-stub list

A comprehensive list of geo-stubs at the national/territorial level exists at User:Grutness/Geo-stub list. It is not intended to include subnational units such as states or provinces except in those cases where the geographic separation of these places from their home country makes them seem, to some eyes, "separate nations". This includes, for example, Gibraltar and Guam.

[edit] Missing templates

Almost every "nation" has its own geo-stub template. The following "countries" are the exceptions - they have no geo-stub templates, and are marked with a † in the lists on this page. The first group either face problems with template naming or due to the nature of the place itself. The second group have redirects to other templates, and are possibilities for full templates at a later date.

[edit] Problematical names and status

  • French Southern Territories (includes Scattered islands in the Indian Ocean) (currently using Outremer-geo-stub)
  • Navassa Island (currently using US-geo-stub and Caribbean-geo-stub)
  • Plazas de soberanía (currently using Spain-geo-stub)

[edit] Redirects

  • Ascension and Tristan da Cunha (currently redirects to SaintHelena-geo-stub)
  • Bouvet Island (currently kludged redirect to Norway-geo-stub and Subantarctic-geo-stub)
  • Cocos Islands and Christmas Island (currently redirects to Australia-geo-stub)
  • Jersey and Guernsey (currently redirects to ChannelIslands-geo-stub)

[edit] Geo-stub tally

There are still a lot of countries which are grouped together under geo-stub names like "Oceania" or "Caribbean". Some of these countries are getting close to the minimum 60 or so needed for separate stub categories.

The following is a list of these undifferentiated countries arranged by the approximate current number of stubs (this, of course, is in constant flux). One note: "country" is a decidedly vague term - several of the entities listed are technically not regarded as countries by all meanings of the term (Mayotte, Wallis and Futuna, and Western Sahara, for just three examples).

[edit] Current/future proposals

Current/upcoming proposals:

  • Categories for:
  • Templates for:
    • The three problematical "countries" listed above, and any redirects where category splitting becomes viable.

[edit] Next tally

The next tally will be in late June.

[edit] The full list

This list was prepared from various regional categories, using information from the dates given. Those marked in bold have 50 or more stubs. Note that - as some stubs (e.g., articles about rivers, mountain ranges) may refer to more than one country - the numbers below will not necessarily add up to the number of articles in each regional stub category.
