A '''stub''' is a very short article, generally of one paragraph or less. Most stubs fail to cover all but the most trivial subjects completely. However, this does not mean the stub is not a legitimate article - it just needs to be expanded.

== Stub alert! ==
If you create a stub, please add the following tag at the end: '''<nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki>'''
This will make the article display the following text from [[Template:stub]]:

: {{stub}}

It encourages other users to expand the article.

When you've added to the article, and it no longer looks like a stub, remove this message.

== Expanding stubs ==

To expand a stub, you can incorporate and cite references about the topic in books, magazines, or newspapers; visit external links, if any, within the article; or you can search [http://www.google.com Google] or [http://www.yahoo.com Yahoo!] for information about the topic. [This paragraph is a stub and should be expanded.]
