Stubs are articles that are very short and would benefit from a knowledgeable user's input.
The Stub template highlights these articles to the user, giving them a little nudge towards contributing.
Usage[edit source]
Stub templates should go at the very top of an article, before any other visually rendered templates, or at the very start of a new section immediately after the heading.
The stub template can be used as a metatemplate by creating new templates with already defined parameters.
The template supports the following parameters:
category - A more specific stub category to place the article in (e.g. Category:Website stubs). If unspecified, uses the default stubs category.
section - A boolean attribute. If true, replaces the word "article" with "section".
subject - Words to insert before "article". For example, providing "biographical" will produce "This biographical article is a stub."
qualifier - Words to insert after "article". For example, providing "about a website" will produce "This article about a website is a stub."
