WikiQueer:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types/Notes

Proposing new stub types
If you think that a new stub type not currently on this list is needed, please go to WikiQueer:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals and follow the instructions at the top of that page. DO NOT simply create a new stub type and add it to this list; any such stub types are likely to be removed from the list and may be sent to WikiQueer:Stub types for deletion.

Proposing stub types prior to their creation also enables us to determine whether the stub type is needed, whether it clashes with existing stub types or structure, and whether it is correctly named.

Note to admins deleting stub types
It is important for consistency, and to avoid confusion on the parts of stub-sorters, that stub types be removed from the stub type list when they are deleted. Please don't leave red links on this page!

List order
Please note when adding new templates to this list that the order within each category is as follows
 * 1) general stub message
 * 2) alphabetically by type of article sorted (not alphabetically by template!)

A note on stub icons
Several of the stub categories relate to controversial issues. For this reason, many of the icons have been chosen carefully so as not to cause offense or appear biased.

If you wish to change any stub icon, please clear the icon change at both WikiQueer:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals and at any WikiProject associated with the stub category first.

Codes: *B, *R and *W

 *  * B indicates there's a corresponding biography stub type, and gives a link to that category.
 *  * R indicates that there are redirects to this template.
 *  * W gives a link to the specific WikiProject associated with the topic covered by the stub template and its category.

Relationships between stub types
The parent-child relationships shown in the listing below reflect the relationship between categories into which each template places the article to which it is affixed. Multiple parentage is indicated by the presence of small text describing child stub types that appear elsewhere in the listing. This is done to eliminate duplication of stub counts, which inevitably leads to different values for the multiple listings of the same stub type as a result of human error.

Stub categories without a stub template
There are a few stub categories that are not associated with a stub template or contain only child categories (no articles).
 * Americas geography stubs: only holds categories relating to the geography of the western hemisphere (as listed below under North and Central American geography and South American geography).
 * Symbol stubs: only holds the categories Anthem stubs, Flag stubs, and Heraldry stubs.
 * Fictional universe stubs: only holds the categories for individual fictional universe stubs.
 * Film stubs by genre: only holds the categories for film stubs by genre.
