===Weather stub===
''created as [[Template:climate-stub]]

not discussed before, there are numerous stubby weather articles without labels, or are labeled as sci-stub or geo-stubs
*'''Wrong name''' Use meteo-stub (meteorology) over weather-stub. --[[User:Circeus|Circeus]] 17:39, Feb 8, 2005 (UTC)
**Nobody is going to remember meteo-stub. Either make it meteorology-stub or weather-stub. When a topic stub is created, it has to be easy to remember or it will never be used.

***I favour weather-stub. Okay, it may not be as precise a term as meteorology-stub, but it's a hell of a lot easier to both spell and type! [[User:Grutness| Grutness]]|<sup>[[User_talk:Grutness|hello?]]</sup> [[Image:Grutness.jpg|25px|]] 08:08, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
**** Go for weather --[[User:AllyUnion| AllyUnion]] [[User talk:AllyUnion|(talk)]] 08:14, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
***Hmm, what about met-stub? People talk about the met.office, so it shouldn't be too hard to remember... [[User:Grutness| Grutness]]|<sup>[[User_talk:Grutness|hello?]]</sup> [[Image:Grutness.jpg|25px|]] 08:23, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
:Someone has already put up [[:Template:climate-stub]], and entered it on [[Wikipedia:Stub_categories]], associated with [[:Category:Climatology_-_Meteorology_stubs]].  The template was created on 14 Feb by [[User:Vsmith|Vsmith]] ...([[User:Ceyockey|Courtland]] 17:38, 2005 Feb 14 (UTC)
::Good template, awkward category name. -[[User:Aranel|Aranel]] ("<font color="#ba0000"><u>Sarah</u></font>") 01:38, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
* Considering a '''scope note''' for [[Template:climate-stub]]
** To include: general climate phenomena, specific types of climate, seasons, climate zones, methods, personalities, associations, broadcasters (like ''The Weather Channel''), specific named weather events.
** To exclude: <s>specific named events such as named hurricanes (though hurricane is a perfect topic), the 2004 Tsunami (though tsunami as a topic, yes), the "Blizzard of '98" (though blizzard conditions and factors leading to blizzards and their severity, yes).</s>
** Implications: no future "weatherman stub category" or "cloudforms stub category"; possible future "hurricanes by name" or "climate events by name", "climate events by year", etc. stub categories.
::''this type of detail of what's in, what's out, and what the implications are, might be helpful for more specific stub categorization with less inter-operator variability.  Thoughts?''

:::Is there any particular reason why the weather category ''shouldn't'' include specific instances of weather? (If it starts to get over-crowded with hurricanes, we can create a separate sub-category for them, of course.) -[[User:Aranel|Aranel]] ("<font color="#ba0000"><u>Sarah</u></font>") 03:43, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
::::Not particularly, except I was thinking of them as either a) historical events or b) geographical items ... however, it does make sense to start out with them generally included ... changed above. [[User:Ceyockey|Courtland]] 04:10, 2005 Feb 15 (UTC)
::Phew - since I added at least one Hurricane stub to that category earlier today, I'm quite pleased! (I purged geo-term-stub of all weather related items and put them in the new category).
