Template:Stub

Template documentation

Description

This template is used to mark pages as stubs, and categorizing them in Category:Stubs.

Parameters

This template has no mandatory parameters, it is however good practice to always provide the "reason" parameter.

"reason" parameter

You should always provide an explanation what information is missing - be it as obvious to you as it gets. This can be any text (e.g. {{Stub| reason = Description of the missing information}}).

"section" parameter

Setting this parameter to any value (e.g. {{Stub| section = 1}}) will change the message from "article" to "section" and suppresses adding the page to Category:Stubs..

"nocat" parameter

Setting this parameter to any value (e.g. {{Stub| nocat = true}}) suppresses adding the page to Category:Stubs.

Include this parameter when using the template for testing purposes, like on this page.

Examples

The template can be used with no arguments:

{{Stub}}

producing:

Category:Stubs

As you can see the template complains if you don't provide a reason. You should therefore always provide it:

{{Stub| reason = Description of the missing information}}

producing:

Category:Stubs

A specific section can be designated as a stub:

{{Stub| reason = Description of the missing information | section = 1 }}

producing:

Category:Stubs
