Stub class reader notices

Latest comment: 5 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Stub class articles need to be identified as such. Otherwise the reader is left with the impression that the incomplete article is an example of a complete, normal quality Wikipedia article.

For example, the article Isonym is confusing as hell but contains no disclaimer that it is a stub article. It leaves the reader assuming that it is a complete article up to Wikipedia's standards but frustrated over its lack of information.

So many times I see perfectly good articles slammed for incomplete citations for 2+2=4 information yet where it really is important (such as the cited example), nothing is being said. --ArtKocsis (talk) 15:34, 12 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
