Category:Geography stubs

This category is maintained by WikiProject: Stub sorting. |
This category is for stub articles about geographical locations. You can help Wikipedia by expanding them.
To add an article to this category, use {{geo-stub}} rather than {{stub}}. When appropriate, an even more specific template should be used from among those noted below.
- Articles about specific buildings and structures use the {{Struct-stub}} template and sub-category, or one of its subtypes.
- Articles about terminology used in geography use the {{Geo-term-stub}} template and sub-category, or one of its subtypes.
- Articles about roads, streets, and highways use the {{Road-stub}} template and subcategory, or one of its subtypes.
[edit] Country-specific templates
Most countries now have country-specific stub templates and categories, in the form {{CountryName-geo-stub}} and Cat:Country Name geography stubs (for example, {{SriLanka-geo-stub}} and Cat:Sri Lanka geography stubs). Many of these countries are further broken down by regions. A full list of these categories and templates can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types#Geography. A list of the exceptions to this naming rule can be found below:
- {{UK-geo-stub}} - for the United Kingdom
- {{US-geo-stub}} - for the United States
- {{NI-geo-stub}} - for Northern Ireland
- {{NZ-geo-stub}} - for New Zealand
- {{Maldives-geo-stub}} for the Maldive Islands (many island groups follow this pattern - Bahamas, Marshalls, Solomons, etc)
- {{Trinidad-geo-stub}} - for Trinidad and Tobago
- {{SaoTomePrincipe-geo-stub}} - for São Tomé and Príncipe (diacriticals are usually avoided in stub template names)
- {{DRCongo-geo-stub}} and {{RCongo-geo-stub}} - for the Congo Democratic Republic and the Republic of the Congo respectively
- {{BiH-geo-stub}} for Bosnia and Herzegovina
- {{Korea-geo-stub}} is used for both North and South Korea
- {{SaintVincent-geo-stub}} for Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
- {{SaintKittsNevis-geo-stub}} for Saint Kitts and Nevis
[edit] Countries without country specific templates
The following countries and regions do not yet have their own templates, due to the small number of stub articles each has or for other reasons (such as problematic political status). They are divided into regional or continental categories and use appropriate templates as listed. These templates and categories are also used where an article deals with a large number of countries within a region.
If you wish to create a stub template for these countries, it should first be proposed at WP:WSS/P for debate.
Countries marked with an asterisk(*) do have a generic stub template of the form CountryName-stub. These regional stubs are, however, generally about a topic related to a country rather than geographical locations or features located within a country, and these articles should be double-stubbed with both the CountryName-stub and the appropriate region-geo-stub.
- Use {{AfricaE-geo-stub}} for Djibouti* and the British Indian Ocean Territories
- Use {{AfricaN-geo-stub}} for Western Sahara (SADR)*
- Use {{AfricaS-geo-stub}} for Mayotte and Réunion
- Use {{Caribbean-geo-stub}} for Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Aruba, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands*, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Montserrat, Netherland Antilles, Turks & Caicos Islands, and US Virgin Islands
- Use {{Euro-geo-stub}} for Liechtenstein*, Monaco*, San Marino*, and the Vatican City
- Use {{Oceania-geo-stub}} for American Samoa, Cook Islands, Guam, Fed. of Micronesia, Niue, Norfolk Island, Northern Marianas, Palau, Pitcairn Islands*, Tokelau, and Wallis & Futuna
- Use {{UK-Atlantic-geo-stub}} for South Georgia, the South Sandwich Islands, Saint Helena, Ascension, and Tristan da Cunha
NB: {{Antarctica-geo-stub}} is used for all of the Antarctic, including subantarctic islands covered by the Antarctic Treaty
