Redundant

I find that mentioning it is a stub about a "Star Wars character" is redundant. Shouldn't it just say "character"? Also, shouldn't this be under "*" in the "character stubs" category?--Darth Fisto 23:27, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • The stub is not redundant, as there are just as many articles on characters that need flagging for stub, while there are many others that are full articles. Thus there is a difference between the two and the stub is not redundant. The change with the asterisk is not always necessary. -- Riffsyphon1024 23:52, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Well, that wasn't my suggestion. The {{char-stub}} is fine. The fact that it says "Star Wars" character is sort of reduntant, seeing as this is the Star Wars Wiki, and we wouldn't have articles on any other kind of character.--Darth Fisto 00:38, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)|

In fact, I was thinking it should look like this.
Char-stub This article is a stub about a character. You can help the Star Wars Wiki by expanding it.
Oh. I see now. Yes, better that way. Would save on space. -- Riffsyphon1024 01:05, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Individual stub?

After all of our changes over to individuals from characters, this is the final piece to staying IU within the articles. It would be chaotic to change them all by hand but we do now have bots that can. What do you all say? -- Riffsyphon1024 06:33, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Well, stub templates are OOU anyway. But I could go either way. However, I think the name is fine as is. -- Ozzel 06:39, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
    • We could keep {{char-stub}} active but could change the template and the category which they all go to if that makes life easier. -- Riffsyphon1024 06:44, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
