Stubs

When creating an article that needs filling out, you are creating what the more seasoned Wikipedians call a stub. Check out WP:STUB. To mark an article as a stub, simply put {{stub}} at the end. Alternatively you can put the exact type of stub that most specifically describes the stub article, but someone will do that for you if you dont. If you're really interested in stubs, check out Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types. BigNate37_T·C 22:04, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
