A stub is an incomplete page, or a brief page in need of expansion. You can see a complete list of stub pages here.
Marking a page as a "stub"
If you see a page that needs further expansion, or if you create a page but can not finish it, you can add a “stub” template tag to the page.
To learn how to insert a “stub” template tag, see Help:Visual editor. If you’re using the source editor, see Help:Source editor.
If you want to create a page, but don't have time to finish it
If you want to create a page, but don't have enough time to finish it, you can write as much as you can, and then mark the page as a "stub". However, if you don't even have time to write a complete introduction for the page, it may be best to mark the page as a "wanted" page, instead of as a "stub" page.
Marking a page as a "wanted" page, instead of as a "stub" page
If you want to indicate that a new page should be created for a topic, see MEpedia:Wanted pages.
