Symbolism Wiki, discover the hidden truths

A stub is an article that is very incomplete and short.

[edit] Length

A stub is usually only 1 to 3 paragraphs long. These paragraphs may just be a few sentences.

[edit] How to Help

You can help Symbolism Wiki by expanding the stubs into complete articles. A complete article should be no less than 4 paragraphs, and the paragraphs should be complete, and more than 5 sentences.

[edit] Template

If you find a stub that is not recognized at the bottom of the page, use the stub template.

Stubs are short articles that someone thinks should have more detail. If you come across a stub (or any other article, for that matter), and know something about the subject, you are invited to contribute to the article.

Normally, to mark an article as a stub you just put {{stub}} at the top of a page to add the stub notice; this normally also puts the page in a stubs category.

There is no specific Wikia-wide method usage of stubs - each wiki often takes their own approach. However, the most common usage can be found at Template:Stub on the Wikia starter wiki, which categorises into Category:Article stubs.
