Trends in LIMS

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.

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}}
