Guide to Linguistics Stub Sorting on Wikipedia
Have you wanted to get in on the #lingwiki editing fun but you don’t know much about linguistics? Editors often look through lists of stubs to find articles to edit, so stub sorting helps get these articles on the right lists so they can be found and improved, even if you don’t know enough to improve them yourself. Click the images above to enlarge them, and check out the links below for more.
- Code to add to an article page: {{ling-stub}}
- Code to add to a talk page: {{WikiProject Linguistics|class=stub}}
- These linguistics articles have not yet been assessed for stub status
- These linguistics articles have been assessed as stubs but might not actually still be stubs anymore (worth checking)
- Main WikiProject:Linguistics page
- Main WikiProject:Stub Sorting page
- What is a stub? The Croughton-London rule
- Sub-types of linguistics stubs, such as {{phonetics-stub}}, {{conlang-stub}}, {{Bantu-lang-stub}}, etc
- List of other stub categories, if you don’t want to do linguistics. (This will give you the stub name, such as {{biology-stub}} or {{documentary-film-stub}}, and then you’ll also need to find their corresponding list of unassessed topic-related articles so you can sort them - try looking for related WikiProjects or substituting “linguistics” in the Category:Unassessed Linguistics articles url for a relevant word).
