Template talk:Stub

A nice gray border might be good. Para Yoshi ^Wahoo! 19:32, 18 October 2006 (EDT)

Nooooo... Not really. 3dejong

I don't think it looks very nice. It kind of separates the template from the article. Monty Mole (Talk·Contribs) 19:43, 18 October 2006 (EDT)

I made it look a little better. Yep, still don't think it's needed. --Steve (talk) 19:46, 18 October 2006 (EDT)

Thats good. XyzCoRy123ABC 04:03, 14 October 2008 (EDT)

Hey...

Since any article that is a stub is deleted, why do we still HAVE this template? TheGreatBlockyBoo 19:02, 25 August 2007 (EDT)

There are still a ton of stub articles on the wiki that were previously created. -- Son of Suns

About stubs.... What if there is little info and no way to get more? TheGreatBlockyBoo 20:29, 26 August 2007 (EDT)

There should always be a way to get more info. Be creative! -- Son of Suns

So... Once the stubs are gone, the template goes too? Max2 (talk)

Well, we don't need to delete it, just in case stubs become okay again (which won't happen until we expand our current stubs). -- Son of Suns

<.> Why is it that we hate stubs? TheGreatBlockyBoo 20:43, 26 August 2007 (EDT)

I don't think we should be deleting any stub articles, isn't SOME info better then NONE? ~Uniju(T-C-E)

Well most articles only state obvious and can hurt the wikis image, I'd rather have no info then one line stubs. Xzelion^ETC

Well, there's a difference between "Pirate Goomba is a Pirate goomba." style article and other that state some info, but could be expanded greatly.

WHAT HE SAID. TheGreatBlockyBoo 20:55, 26 August 2007 (EDT)

S***. Some info is better than none. XyzCoRy123ABC 04:03, 14 October 2008 (EDT)

Stub or Rewrite-expand?

Is there any policy of when to use this template and when that one? To me, they seem to serve exactly the same purpose. I always wonder which to use on short articles (using both seems redundant). Time Questions 13:16, 19 September 2008 (EDT)

The way I saw it used, Stub seems to be used for articles that amount to nothing more than "X is a character/items/thing in [game]", while RW-expand is for article that do have informations, but incredibly unspecific and poorly written. But yeah, there's no policy for those templates. --Blitzwing 14:15, 19 September 2008 (EDT)

Revision

Is it cool if I replace the link on "stub" to PipeProject:Unstubify instead of the category? The link to the category is unnecessary anyway since it shows up at the bottom.--Knife (talk) 17:38, 24 December 2009 (EST)

Fine for me. BUt it will still categorize them, right? --™ The 'Shroom 17:45, 24 December 2009 (EST)
