The result of the debate was create

Doing some cleanup involving addition of categories and stubs where appropriate, I've found a requirement for this stub. WP currently has stubs covering midfielders born in previous decades, but would now seem to require one to cover 1990s births. Admittedly, this probably only currently covers those born in 1990, but it will be required sooner or later. CultureDrone (talk) 10:53, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Might as well speedy creation of the template, on the existing pattern. When you say "need", do you mean there's already 60 of these larval-form whippersnappers^W^Wfine sportspeople? If so, speedy the category as well, otherwise, wait and upmerge the template for now. Alai (talk) 11:42, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm a relative newcomer at templates so what does 'upmerging templates' actually mean ? :-) CultureDrone (talk) 22:10, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

That's where you have a stub template, but not it's own category, feeding into pre-existing categories instead. We usually use them when stub types don't reach 60 articles, as they prevent double-tagging, while keeping the number of stub categories down. Severo^TC 22:27, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes, exactly. Sorry for being cryptic. Look, for example at {{England-footy-midfielder-1900s-stub}}, etc. Alai (talk) 16:31, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
