UESPWiki:Stub

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

Stubs are articles which have not yet received substantial attention from authors. They have been created, but are incomplete and do not yet contain all of the information relevant to that topic. Stubs are not worthless but, rather, are the first step articles take on their course to becoming complete.

Not all short articles are stubs. The stub designation implies that the article needs to be worked on. If an article contains all of the information pertinent to a given topic, then the article is complete and is not a stub.

[edit] Creating a Stub

To label an article as a stub, simply include the stub template on the bottom of the page. (Note that sometimes you will see these tags at the top of the page. In the interests of standardization, any stub tags at the tops of pages should be moved to the bottom.) To add the stub template to the page, simply type:

{{stub}}

This tag will add a message (customized according to the article's namespace) and automatically include the article in the appropriate category.

[edit] Fixing a Stub

If you have added enough information to an article that you believe it is no longer a stub, you should remove the stub tag from the page so that it is removed from the list.

[edit] Current Stubs

You can find a list of the articles currently identified as stubs in the stubs category, sorted according to the article's namespace.
