[hide]Stub Articles
A stub is a brief and incomplete article on a wiki that provides only the most basic information about a subject.
Stubs serve as starting points for future expansion and invite contributions from the community to develop the topic further.
Definition
A stub is an article recognized as needing expansion. It typically contains a brief overview of a topic, minimal details, and a notice encouraging editors to add more comprehensive information.
Purpose
The primary purposes of stub articles are to:
- Provide an initial framework for a topic.
- Encourage collaboration and contributions from the wiki community.
- Act as placeholders that can be developed over time to improve the overall content of the wiki.
Characteristics
Stub articles usually feature:
- Minimal text and a basic structure.
- A stub template or message at the bottom indicating that the article is a stub.
- Integration into the wiki through basic categorization, allowing readers to find related topics.
