I'd like to build a couple more sports categories. This is in recognition of the number of Olymipic games, and similar games out there. Often these games have a number of mini-games, allowing the person to play either just one sport or a wide range of sports. Decathalon, X-Games, California Games would also fall into these categories.
- {{Summer-sports-videogame-stub}} / Category:Summer sports video game stubs. Main categories: Category:Summer sports video games / Category:Olympic video games

Proposed new template: {{zenimax-stub}}
This would be a stub category for ZeniMax Media and its subsidiaries. This would help circumvent problems with underpopulated categories for the subsidiaries, also. Notably, templates for {{BethesdaSoftworks-stub}} and {{idSoftware-stub}} could be upmerged to this new template. I think between the three templates (two existing underpopulated, plus the new) there should be enough to justify the new parent category. Dawynn (talk) 02:03, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Currently, the Category:Electronics stubs is a top-level stub category and is oversized. A good part of its contents can be up-merged to the parent Category:Electricity stubs, which does not exist yet, but would be a fine top-level category (or a subcat of Category:Physics stubs). I have already re-stubbed several of the misplaced electronics stubs: please take a look at {{Electric-stub}} and Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Electric-stub. Note that Electronics is just a subset of Electrical engineering, and that marking some articles with "electronics stub" template is rather illogical.
In the end of the day, the scheme should look like:
(Electronics stubs could be further catagorized by {{Consumer-electronics-stub}} but let's do it one step at at time). No such user (talk) 14:49, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
- This seems a reasonable way to go about tidying up this area. Waacstats (talk) 08:48, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
- IMHO, creating a category at this level is already justified. If we declare "Electronics" as a sub-category of "Electricity", then we already have the needed 60 articles by virtue of the subcategory. Dawynn (talk) 19:43, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

to Waacstats: Also it is quite useless and misleading categorize such articles without knowledge about the theme. Taxonomy of them can, and in some cases often is changing quite often.
