hiking onwards
Trying to stub-sort Roadwalking. Gave it {{hiking-stub}}, which produced a message to say that it was subject to an SFD (following discussion in the archived talkpage). Looked at the SFD, and the verdict was already "delete", so I cancelled my edit. So: What category can we use for this item? There seems to be no suitable broader category to include "recreation", "outdoor activities", "walking" etc, where we can stubsort any aspect of walking other than {{trail-stub}} or {{climbing-stub}}. Any ideas? I'd expect to find something under either "Leisure" or "Transport" but can't see anywhere. PamD (talk) 16:04, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
- {{sport-stub}} is probably too broad, I'm thinking. What about proposing a {{walking-stub}}? Her Pegship (tis herself) 18:13, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
- {{Walking-stub}} would simply re-create hiking-stub under a different name. This one's a bit of a puzzle, though. We've had occasional suggestions for some sort of outdoor pursuits stub, and perhaps it's worth reviving that as a proposal again. Grutness...wha? 01:39, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
- Walking-stub has the merit of covering more ground (pun intended) than hiking-stub...Outdoor-sport-stub would be too broad; perambulation-stub too obfuscatory... hmm. Her Pegship (tis herself) 18:20, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
possible new stub
look, i just finished reading the novel Brooklyn Follies by paul auster, and I saw it was listed as a crime novel stub here. that is definitely not the case, so i checked other stubs in literature and none fit! children, crime, fantasy, historical, horror, mystery, philosophical, romance, science fiction, spy, thriller, war novel, western, and young adult are the only types. I was thinking that this book, as well as probably many others fits a genre that should be called something like "life/events/every day experiences/trandescending time of a person's life" novel, as it is just about a certain year in the character's life and what happened there. I don't know if i'm making myself clear. another example is kennedy's A Confederacy of Dunces, or amelie nothomb's Attentat, which is just about the crazy things/people in life. any suggestions for a name? or did i miss an existing genre for this?190.31.247.244 (talk) 20:45, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
- I don't know how it got stubbed as a crime novel. It's now under 2000s novel stubs. Stub categories tend to be fairly broad and basic; if you find a permanent category that fits, please feel free to assign it to that article. Cheers, Her Pegship (tis herself) 22:14, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
Addition to instructions
It's been pointed out to me that the proposal instructions had no details on how to propose upmerged templates, so I've added a sixth point to them - please check that it's right and amend if necessary! Grutness...wha? 23:50, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
