Hi Robert, one solution may be to use a query on Wikidata to retrieve the name for the stubs category in all the different languages. Then you could use a tool like PetScan to retrive all the pages in such categories, or write your own tool by using either a query on the database or Mediawiki API. You can find a sample solution here: http://paws-public.wmflabs.org/paws-public/3270/Stub%20categories.ipynb
I wrote that thing while on a train, so it may be messy and/or sub-optimal. I would like to thank Alex Monk and Yuvi Panda for their help with SQL on paws today.
