[edit]The idea for a template seems reasonable, but it may well need to be upmerged. If there are enough stubs for a viable separate category it at least needs some parent stubcats (Category:Philosophy stubs, perhaps?) Grutness...wha? 07:02, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
- Hello. I made the template because it was on the todo list at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Philosophy/Epistemology#Things_to_do. There are many stubs at Category:Stub-Class_epistemology_articles. InverseHypercube 07:30, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
- Stub-Class assessment and stub types are completely different things. Stub-Class is an assessment based on the banner template of a WikiProject (e.g., WP Philosophy), and for use by that specific project. Stub types are for use across the whole of Wikipedia and are based on the specific size and type guidelines, as explained at WP:Stub (there's a section of WP:Stub explaining why one is used by wikiprojects and one is more general). This is also why there's a specific project (WikiProject Stub sorting) which tries to coordinate and vet stub templates and categories (again, as explained at WP:Stub). There also seems to be nothing in that to-do list (or its history) to suggest that making new stub categories or templates is part of WP PHIL's current projects (expanding existing stub articles, yes; creating new stub templates and categories, no).

- Easy mistake to make - It would've been far better if the assessment schemes hadn't used the word "stub" when they first started up. In any case, as I said at the top, the template seems like a reasonable idea, though unless there are a large number of stubs (the usual split is 60) it should probably be upmerged until such time as there are that number.

- Without delving very deeply into the topic, I brought this out of the underpopulated list. Someone with more interest in the topic could probably tag several more articles. Dawynn (talk) 14:52, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
