Category:Geography stubs

This category is maintained by WikiProject Stub sorting. Please propose new stub templates and categories here before creation.

This category is for stub articles relating to geographical locations. You can help by expanding them. To add an article to this category, use {{geo-stub}} instead of {{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 topographical terms used in geography use the {{Topography-stub}} template and sub-category, or one of its subtypes.
• Articles about other 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.

Country-specific templates[edit | edit source]

Most countries now have country-specific stub templates and categories, in the form {{CountryName-geo-stub}} and Category:Country Name geography stubs (for example, {{SriLanka-geo-stub}} and Category: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/Geographical. 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
• {{Maldives-geo-stub}} for the Maldive Islands (many island groups follow this pattern - Bahamas, Marshalls, Solomons, etc.)
• {{DRCongo-geo-stub}} and {{RCongo-geo-stub}} for the Congo Democratic Republic and the Republic of the Congo respectively
• {{Micronesia-geo-stub}} for the Federated States of Micronesia
• {{NorthMacedonia-geo-stub}} for the Republic of North Macedonia
• {{SaintVincent-geo-stub}} for Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
• {{SaintKittsNevis-geo-stub}} for Saint Kitts and Nevis (several countries follow this pattern - Bosnia and Herzegovina, Turks and Caicos Islands, São Tomé and Príncipe, etc.)
• {{SouthGeorgia-geo-stub}} for South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands
• {{US-Pacific-geo-stub}} for the United States' Unincorporated Territories in the Pacific

NB: {{Antarctica-geo-stub}} is used for all of the Antarctic covered by the Antarctic Treaty except the subantarctic islands, which use {{Subantarctic-geo-stub}}
