[edit] Stub templates
- {{Flag-stub}}
- {{Heraldry-stub}}
When using these tags, please also add the relevant nationality tag, e.g. an article about an Italian coat of arms should be stubbed with both {{Italy-stub}} and {{Heraldry-stub}}. Doing so saves a lot of work for WP:WSS.
If you wish to see additional stub templates created it might be an idea to first consider if you know of 60 existing articles that could benefit from such a template since this is the standard requirement for new stub templates. If you do, please list your suggestion on WP:WSS/P. This process is used to achieve a consistent naming system for stub templates which makes them easier to use. Thanks in advance.
