== Bug in template == This template attempts to categorize stub pages by the date the stub template was added to the page. Instead, it categorizes it by the date of the most recent revision, not the date the stub template was added. Therefore, the categories can change every single time the page is updated! I just made a minor change to the page [[25pillsaday]] and it suddenly jumped from [[:Category:2017 stubs]] to [[:Category:2019 stubs]]. [[User:Notjusttired]] Are you aware of this? <br>[[User:Pyrrhus|Pyrrhus]] ([[User talk:Pyrrhus|talk]]) 22:22, September 9, 2019 (EDT) :By categorizing by revision date it shows which stubs have not been updated for longest, so it's helpful that way. Although it can be changed generally stubs aren't added with a date and I seem to remember that you can't find the date added to a category or the date a template is added later on. Previously we have no stub subcategories. If you know a way to change the date to pick up the date first added to a category / the date a template was added then feel free to change. [[User:Notjusttired|notjusttired]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 17:00, September 10, 2019 (EDT) ::I see, thanks for clarifying [[User:Notjusttired]]! Perhaps we should change the category names to "Stub pages last edited in 2019", just to make it clear? Yeah, since the template is dynamically transcluded instead of statically substituted, the only way to specify the date the stub tag was added is to enter the date as a parameter to the template. Hmm. Maybe I'll add a collapsible list by stub date to [[:Category:Stubs]] in case anyone wants to search by the date the stub tag was added... ::[[User:Pyrrhus|Pyrrhus]] ([[User talk:Pyrrhus|talk]]) 17:49, September 11, 2019 (EDT) :::Sounds like a good suggestion. The categories would need renaming of course. The main point here is have a way of subcategorizing stubs rather than a list of hundreds that all seem the same priority. Some of the oldest stubs are very unimportant and might be better just in a glossary so there did not seem much point categorizing by date the page was created. [[User:Notjusttired|notjusttired]] ([[User talk:Notjusttired|talk]]) 07:37, September 12, 2019 (EDT) ::::{{Done}} as discussed! We should probably do something similar for [[Template:Cleanup]]. How about renaming those categories "All articles needing cleanup marked for cleanup in or last edited in YEAR"? ::::[[User:Pyrrhus|Pyrrhus]] ([[User talk:Pyrrhus|talk]]) 23:25, September 25, 2019 (EDT)
