A '''stub''' is an article containing only a few sentences of text which is too short to provide encyclopedic coverage of a subject, but not so short as to provide no useful information. Sizable articles are usually not considered stubs, even if they lack [[Wikipedia:Glossary#W|wikification]] or [[copy editing]]. With these articles, a [[Wikipedia:Cleanup resources|cleanup template]] is usually added instead of a stub template. Note that if a small article has little properly sourced information, or if its subject has no inherent notability, it may be [[Wikipedia:deletion|deleted]] or be [[Wikipedia:Merging|merged]] into another relevant article.

 

There is no set size at which an article stops being a stub. While very short articles are likely to be stubs, there are some subjects about which there is very little that can be written. Conversely, there are subjects about which a lot could be written - their articles may still be stubs even if they are a few paragraphs long. As such, it is impossible to state whether an article is a stub based solely on its length, and any decision on the article has to come down to an editor's best judgement (the user essay on the [[User:Grutness/Croughton-London rule of stubs|Croughton-London rule]] may be of use when trying to judge whether an article is a stub). Similarly, stub status usually depends on the length of prose text alone - lists, templates, images, and other such peripheral parts of an article are usually not considered when judging whether an article is a stub.

Once you create and save the article, other editors will also be able to enhance it.

 

After writing a short article, or finding an unmarked stub, you should insert a ''stub template''. Choose from among the templates listed at '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types]]'''.

 

Stub-related activities are centralized at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting]] ([[Wikipedia:shortcut|shortcut]] [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting|Wikipedia:WSS]]). This project should be your main reference for stub information, and is where new stub types should be proposed for discussion prior to creation.

 

Once a stub has been properly expanded and becomes a larger article, any editor may remove its stub template. No [[Wikipedia:administrators|administrator]] action or formal permission is needed.

'''Please propose new stub types at [[Wikipedia: WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals| WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals]] so that they may be discussed prior to creating them.'''

 

If you identify a group of stub articles that do not fit an existing stub type, or if an existing stub category is growing very large, you can propose the creation of a new stub type which is debated at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals]].

 

 

An example of a stub template is {{tlx|Writer-stub}}, which produces:

The stub category, [[:Category:Writer stubs]], lists all articles containing the {{tlx|Writer-stub}} template.

 

 

Several guidelines are used to decide whether a new stub type is useful. These include the following:

If you think you have satisfied these guidelines, it is ''highly recommended'' that you propose the new stub type at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals|stub type proposals page]]. This allows for debate on matters relating to the stub type that may not have occurred to the proposer, and also allows for objections if the split does not satisfy stub guidelines. If there are no objections within five days, you may create the new stub type.

 

Once the creation of a new stub type has been discussed at [[Wikipedia: WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals]] and agreed upon, a template can be created. The name of this should follow the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Naming guidelines|stub type naming conventions]], and will usually be decided during the discussion process.

The name of the stub category should also have been decided during the proposal process and will also follow the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Naming guidelines|naming guidelines]].

 

'''''If you have some doubts or comments regarding any part of the process, do not hesitate to address them at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Stub sorting]].'''''

 

When a new [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|WikiProject]] commences, one of the first things its creators often do is decide whether or not a specific stub type should be created for it. Often there is no real problem, as WikiProject topics frequently coincide with subjects of specific stub types. On other occasions, there will be no specific stub type, and a new type should be proposed.

 

[[Wikipedia:Assessment|Assessment templates]] are a way around this problem, and more often than not a far more useful tool for WikiProjects. Assessment templates have several distinct advantages over stub types for WikiProjects. The templates are placed on article talk pages, where they are less likely to be seen as controversial (the placing of stub templates on controversial articles has frequently been a source of edit-warring). They allow all articles within a topic area to be assessed and catalogued by a project, not just stub articles. They allow an indication to be made of exactly what work needs to be done on an article. They also allow workgroups that are subgroups of WikiProjects to have their own specific templates that are better suited to their tasks.

 

Several tools are available for helping to locate and sort stubs. These include:
