Zemgale

I think Category:Zemgale geography stubs and Template:Zemgale-geo-stub should simultaneously renamed from Zemgale to Semigallia, per article title Semigallia and Category:Semigallia. What is the right process for that? Marcocapelle (talk) 03:11, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Zoological stub templates

Does anyone have an opinion about the proposals for upmerged templates currently on the proposals page? Most of them have fewer than 30 possible uses. Her Pegship (?) 23:30, 14 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How many stubs to merit an upmerged template?

I don't know whether this has been discussed anywhere; in light of a few of the current proposals, I've been wondering what the threshold should be for creation of an upmerged template. One such proposal shows that there are only 3 articles that would qualify for {{Rheiformes-stub}}, for example, and Grey Clownfish proposes that it be created and upmerged to Category:Bird stubs. To me, this begs the question as to whether every stub category needs an upmerged template for every possible sub-cat, regardless of the quantity of articles it might apply to. I'm not sure I'm expressing myself very well, but wouldn't this sort of action prompt an enormous number of barely-used templates, and wouldn't it be a lot of work to organize/track/list all of them?
