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

Pages in this category should be moved to subcategories where applicable. This category may require frequent maintenance to avoid becoming too large. It should directly contain very few, if any, pages and should mainly contain subcategories.
