A '''stub''' is an article that has a significant lack of information on its subject. A page can be marked as a stub by placing the {{t|Stub}} template in it. Stubs are not based on page length, but rather on how complete an article's coverage of its subject is. Some articles are short, yet still cover everything there is to cover on a subject and are therefore not stubs. Similarly, an article can be long but still lacking in a significant area, and therefore still be considered a stub.

==What is a stub?==
 +
A '''stub''' is an article that has a significant lack of information pertaining to a topic.  There is no specific size to qualify an article as a stub, but generally an article that is missing a lot of information on its subject is considered to be a stub. Please keep in mind that short articles are not necessarily stubs, especially if they contain all information possible.

===Marking an article as a stub===
−
Generally, a page should only be marked as a stub if it '''lacks significant information throughout the page or in multiple sections'''. If only a single section is lacking, the {{t|Section}} template can be placed in that specific section to mark it as a [[:Category:Stub sections|stub section]]. If only a small or specific thing is needed for an article, {{t|To-do}} or other [[:Category:Notice templates|notice templates]] can be placed on the page instead. The {{t|Stub}} template should be placed at the bottom of a page, after all the sections and before any navboxes or categories. The {{t|Section}} template should be placed at the top of a section, right below the header. If a page or section has been expanded and no longer qualifies as a stub, the {{t|Stub}} or {{t|Section}} template can be removed.
+
If you are writing a new article and would like to classify it as a stub for others to expand on, you must include the stub template somewhere in the article, preferably at the bottom. To include the stub template, type <code><nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki></code>.
  
−
[[Villager]] and [[creature]] pages have unique stub templates ({{t|Villager Stub}} and {{t|Critter Stub}}) that should be placed on those pages instead of the standard stub template.
+
===Removing stub status from an article===
 +
If you've added enough information to a stub to remove its stub status or if you feel that a short article has been unnecessarily given the stub status, all you have to do is delete the <code><nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki></code> tag that is placed in the article.

==Finding stubs==
−
An '''insufficient stub''' is an extremely short article that contains little to no useful information on a subject (e.g. an article for {{NH}} having only the text: "{{NH|nolink}} is a game."). Insufficient stubs should not be marked as a stub but rather marked for deletion.
+
A list of stubs can be found in the stub category.
