Help:Stub

From Xboxic

Jump to: navigation, search

Stubs are articles which have not yet received substantial attention from editors of the Xboxic Wiki, and as such do not yet contain enough information to be truthfully considered articles. The community believes that stubs are far from worthless; they are, rather, the first step articles take on their course to becoming complete.

A stub is an article that's obviously too short, but not so short as to be useless. In general, it must be long enough to at least define the article's title, which generally means 3 to 10 short sentences. Note that a longer article may be a stub if the topic is complex enough; conversely, a short article on a topic which has a very narrow scope may not be a stub.

To define a stub, add the following tag at the end of the article:

{{stub}}

This will show up like this:

Stub

Once a stub has been properly expanded and becomes an article rather than just a stub, you or any editor may remove the stub tag from it. No admin action or formal permission is needed.
