About Stubs
Stubs are unfinished pages that only contain partial information about a topic. This stub template should be added to the top of half-written pages in order to keep track of which pages are incomplete.
Stub articles can be made for a number of reasons:
- The subject of the article is quite old and not all details are remembered.
- The author of the page wasn't directly involved and doesn't know all the details.
In the 1st case, it's okay to create a stub page with just the basic information of the subject so others who might remember better can come in and fill out the page, but please don't create blank pages that only contain the article title and the stub template.
