Stubs are entries that have not yet received substantial attention from editors, and as such do not yet contain enough information to be considered real articles. In other words, they are short or insufficient pieces of information and require additions. Stubs are valued as useful first steps toward complete articles.
Marking entires as stubs
To mark an entry as a stub, include {{stub}}.
Categorizing
To help editors find stubs of relevant interest, it is helpful to use category-specific stubs. For instance, because this article is wiki-related, it should be marked as such. Therefore, the wiki-related stub template was created and can be used by including {{stub-wiki}}.
