Wikipedia:Stub Makers

Please refer to Wikipedia:Stub and WP:WSS for information regarding stub creation and, especially, sorting.

This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article or a Wikipedia policy, as it has not been reviewed by the community.

The Stub Makers are Wikipedians whose primary existence in Wikipedia is to create stubs. This may encourage new articles when others are unhappy with the stub and decide to expand it. Unfortunately, this also creates more work for other Wikipedians that contribute substantially. It is advised that if you are a stub maker and wish to help users browsing the site, you should at a minimum put an accurate and precise description of the article with at the very least three references cited. This helps people browsing the site by assuring them that they have the right article, although it is only a stub, and helps fellow Wikipedians expand on the stub by informing them what the article is meant to be about.
