Category talk:Stubs

Less than 60%!

Last month, the proportion of pages in this category went below 60% for the first time in years. Since our articles are generally much shorter than those of Wikipedia, the bar for unstubbing is very low - a few sentences that give an overview can be enough, especially if there is metadata or other source of links for people to continue reading, either on the site or elsewhere. All editors are welcome to join me try and get this down to perhaps 50%! -- Robin (talk) 15:17, 5 April 2019 (UTC)

Less than 59%!

It'll take a while at this rate, especially since the number of pages has grown considerably. Still, I just noticed the proportion of stubs was below 59% for the first time ever. -- Robin (talk) 21:11, 22 December 2019 (UTC)

Down to 58%

Slow progress, but we're down to 58.0% today. -- Robin (talk) 14:52, 9 January 2021 (UTC)

Make it 50%!

Looking at the stubs, I see things like Ambassador to São Tomé and Príncipe, which is there because Joseph Wilson had it once. If there is any further info, it will be added to the individual Ambassadors/countries/incidents, not to employment. The same with Australia/Minister for Social Inclusion or Canada/Ambassador to Albania. Since most of the holders of the jobs are non-entities and never will be added to Wikispooks, the lists will never be complete. Only a few employments are worth writing more about, like BND/President.

Another category that doesn't need to be marked as stubs, is universities, like Kraków University of Economics. Who on Wikispooks is ever going to expand on it with generalities? If there is anything of interest, it will be added anyway.

Removing these will cut the number of stubs with at least 10% Terje (talk) 02:52, 11 January 2021 (UTC)---
