JorjaPedia:Stub
From JorjaPedia
| This page in a nutshell: An article too short to provide more than rudimentary information about a subject should be marked as a stub by adding the stub template with {{stub}} to the end of the article. Anyone can edit a stub article, or remove a stub template from an article which is no longer a stub. |
Basic information
A stub is an article containing only a few sentences of text which is too short to provide encyclopedic coverage of a subject, but not so short as to provide no useful information. Sizable articles are usually not considered stubs, even if they lack wikification or copy editing.
Removing stub status
Once a stub has been properly expanded and becomes a larger article, any editor may remove its stub template. No administrator action or formal permission is needed. Many articles still marked as stubs have in fact been expanded beyond what is regarded as stub size. Be bold in removing stub tags that are clearly no longer applicable.
