Template:Stub
Stub can be used to highlight stub articles.
Articles are labeled with stub when they are incomplete. This is a fairly natural progression for a wiki: it is sometimes impossible to create a comprehensive article from scratch. It takes time to develop, and sometimes one person can only contribute a small portion to a given subject. Labeling an article as a stub is a notice to other users to help pitch in and add more content. As Wikipedia explains: "When you write a stub, bear in mind that it should contain enough information for other editors to expand upon it. The key is to provide adequate context — articles with little or no context usually end up being deleted."
