==Geo-stubs - a quick run-down==
I see that one of the items on this page is a quick summary of science stubs. Since there's been a lot of subdividing in the geo-stubs, I thought I'd add the same here.

The following countries or regions have separate geo stubs, all of the form "Countryname-geo-stub":
:Afghanistan, Africa, Albania, Antarctica, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Caribbean, Caucasus, China*, Croatia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Iran, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea*, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Oceania, Pakistan, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, and Ukraine. 

Thus, for a stub relating to a place in France, say, you would use <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:France-geo-stub|France-geo-stub]]}}. Note that China-geo-stub can be used for both Chinas, mainland and Taiwan, and Korea-geo-stub can be used for both halves of that divided peninsula.

In addition, the following countries use an abbreviation or variant on their names in the same way:
* Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH-geo-stub)
* Central America (CentralAm-geo-stub)
* Central Asia (CAsia-geo-stub)
* Czech Republic (Czechia-geo-stub)
* Hong Kong (Hong-Kong-geo-stub) (note the hyphen)
* Middle East (MEast-geo-stub)
* New Zealand (NZ-geo-stub)
* Serbia-Montenegro (SM-geo-stub)
* South America (SouthAm-geo-stub)
* Southeast Asia (SEAsia-geo-stub)
* United Kingdom (UK-geo-stub)
* United States (US-geo-stub)

There are also separate stubs for the following:
*Buildings and structures (struct-stub) (e.g., bridges, towers, etc - may be used in conjunction with country or region geo-stubs)
*Cities (city-stub) (this one seems to be rarely used and the country or region geo-stub is preferable if one exists)
*Geographical terms (geo-term-stub) (e.g., landforms, terms used in mapping or climate studies)
*Oceanography (Ocean-stub) (this can be used for the likes of ocean currents and open ocean submarine features)

The general <nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:geo-stub|geo-stub]]}} still works, it simply means a little more work for someone else later! [[User:Grutness| Grutness]]|<sup>[[User_talk:Grutness|hello?]]</sup> [[Image:Grutness.jpg|25px|]] 12:00, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)

===Last two geo-stubs (hopefully) - "catch-all" categories===
The generic geo-stubs are down to a mere handful now (less that 1% of the number there were two months ago!. The last two geo-stub categories are catch-alls: Euro-geo-stub and Asia-geo-stub, for all articles in parts of Europe and Asia not otherwise covered (unless, of course, you want me to make a Liechtenstein-geo-stub :).

:Although they wouldn't be a "true" geo-stub, do we need a stub for [[micronation]]s? I haven't looked for any, but I imagine that there are probably enough of them with the stub and substub templates that a micronation-stub would be needed. [[User:BlankVerse|BlankVerse]] 09:08, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
::To be honest, I don't think I've found a single micronation stub! [[User:Grutness| Grutness]]|<sup>[[User_talk:Grutness|hello?]]</sup> [[Image:Grutness.jpg|25px|]] 12:59, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
