A stub is a short article which contains a few sentences of text, which is too short to provide extended coverage of a subject, but not so short as to provide no useful information. Bigger articles are usually not considered stubs, even if they lack style, format or copy editing. Such articles should usually be tagged with a cleanup template instead of a stub template.
Marking Stubs
After writing a short article or finding an unmarked stub article, you should insert a stub template. Use {{editor-stub}} for stub pages related to UnrealEd features, {{api-stub}} for stub pages about class and interface descriptions, and {{stub}} for other stub pages.
Removing Stub Status
Once an article has been properly expanded, any editor can remove its stub template. No administrator action or formal permission is required.
