Stub Progress

First section of Stubs are done, only about 15 thousand more to go! :) Nothing too important except for a lot of bump ups to Start class articles and one article being moved to mid importance.

How I Determined If An Article was Stub or Start

3 or more Sources
Decent size of content (10+ paragraphs) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Makhram (talk • contribs) 02:41, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Good work. On a side note: edit summaries are highly recommended. In this case a simple c&p'ed one would suffice, but would be preferable to none. Salvidrim! 02:46, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I'll make sure to include them in the future.Makhram"The Maniac" talk 13:55, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'll be using '2012 VideoGameProject StubHunt Reasessment' as a generic copy-paste summary.Makhram"The Maniac" talk 14:07, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a bit more conservative in what I consider a stub – I normally don't count in references, but if there is about more than a 2-3 full paragraphs' worth of content, then I think that article is likely no longer a stub. --MuZemike 18:53, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of Members

I feel as if this Task Force is suffering from a lack of interest from the Video Game project, perhaps we could put up a notice on the Project page about this task force?"Makhram the Maniac" talk 19:22, 6 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Changing assessments from Stub-Class to Start-Class

Rather than changing the assessments from Stub-Class to Start-Class yourselves, I can gladly employ my bot to do that for everyone. If you want to use User:MuZebot/Stub to Start in order to start a list, I can go ahead and update all of the assessments automatically with my bot. --MuZemike 21:16, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I'm assuming you can do the same Start-to-C when we get there? :) Salvidrim! 21:28, 24 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Question about 'Start class' assessment

I've created a large number of video game articles, but I usually rank them as Start (if they obviously aren't stubs). I just want to make sure I shouldn't be rating them as C class upon creation though; are articles like Over the Hedge: Hammy Goes Nuts!, Moto Racer World Tour, and Scene It? Twilight all supposed to be start class, or C class? (They're missing 'development' sections). Nomader (talk) 04:12, 17 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Forbidden to use Toolserver

When I try to use the toolserver links, I get a Forbidden 403 error. Is this just me or is something wrong with the application? —Ost (talk) 19:42, 22 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Stub lists down

Hey—the stub lists are down. Is there another (similar) tool we can use? czar ♔ 22:49, 24 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

They've just been migrated. Need to replace "http://toolserver.org/~enwp10/bin" with "http://tools.wmflabs.org/enwp10/cgi-bin". ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 23:00, 24 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nice. Thanks. I ran a batch update on the links czar ♔ 01:22, 25 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
