A '''stub''' is an article containing only one or a few sentences of text
If a stub has little [[Wikipedia:Verifiability|verifiable]] information, or if its subject has no apparent [[Wikipedia:Notability|notability]], it may be [[Wikipedia:deletion|deleted]] or be [[Wikipedia:Merging|merged]] into another relevant article.
While a "[[WP:GOODDEF|definition]]" may be enough to qualify an article as a stub, [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a dictionary|Wikipedia is not a dictionary]]. The distinction between dictionary and encyclopedia articles is best expressed by the [[use–mention distinction]]:
Line 20 ⟶ 22:
* An encyclopedia article is ''about the subject [[denotation|denoted by]] the title'' but usually has only '''''one definition''''' (or in some cases, several definitions that are largely the ''same'') but there may be ''several equivalent words (synonyms) or phrases for it''.
Sizable articles are usually not considered stubs, even if they have significant problems or are noticeably incomplete. With these larger articles, a [[Wikipedia:Cleanup resources|cleanup template]] is usually added instead of a stub template.
There is no set size at which an article stops being a stub. While very short articles are likely to be stubs, there are some subjects about which there is very little that can be written. Conversely, there are subjects about which a lot could be written – their articles may still be stubs even if they are a few paragraphs long. As such, it is impossible to state whether an article is a stub based solely on its length, and any decision on the article has to come down to an editor's best judgement (the user essay on the [[User:Grutness/Croughton-London rule of stubs|Croughton-London rule]] may be of use when trying to judge whether an article is a stub). Similarly, stub status usually depends on the length of prose text alone – lists, templates, images, and other such peripheral parts of an article are usually not considered when judging whether an article is a stub.▼
=== How big is too big? ===
Over the years, different editors have followed different [[rules of thumb]] to help them decide when an article is likely to be a stub. Editors may decide that an article with more than ten sentences is too big to be a stub or that articles with more than 250 words is too big to be a stub. Others follow the [[Wikipedia:Did you know?|Did you know?]] standard of 1,500 characters in the main text. [[Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser|AutoWikiBrowser]] is frequently set to automatically remove stub tags from any article with more than 500 words.
▲'''There is no set size at which an article stops being a stub.''' While very short articles are very likely to be stubs, there are some subjects about which

Any registered editor may start a stub article.
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 [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#A1|speedily deleted]]. Your initial research may be done either through books or reliable websites. You may also contribute knowledge acquired from other sources, but it is useful to conduct some research beforehand
Begin by defining or describing your topic. Avoid [[fallacies of definition]]. Write clearly and informatively. State, for example, what a person is famous for, where a place is located and what it is known for, or the basic details of an event and when it happened.
Line 33 ⟶ 40:
Next, try to expand upon this basic definition. Internally link relevant words, so that users unfamiliar with the subject can understand what you have written. Avoid linking words needlessly; instead, consider which words may require further definition for a casual reader to understand the article. Lastly, a critical step: add [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources|sources]] for the information you have put into the stub; see [[Wikipedia:Citing sources|citing sources]] for information on how to do so in Wikipedia.
Once you create and save the article, other editors will also be able to
=== How to mark an article as a stub ===
After writing a short article, or finding an unmarked stub, you should insert a ''stub template''. Choose from among the templates listed at '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types]]'''.
Stub templates have two parts: a short message noting the stub's topic and encouraging editors to expand it, and a category link, which places the article in a ''stub category'' alongside other stubs on the same topic. The naming for stub templates is usually ''topic-stub''; a list of these templates may be found [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types|here]]. You need not learn all the templates—even simply adding {{tl|stub}} helps (see [[Wikipedia:When to use the generic stub tag|this essay]] for more information). The more accurately an article is tagged, however, the less work it is for other sorters later, and the more useful it is for editors looking for articles to expand.
If an article overlaps several stub categories, more than one template may be used, but it is strongly recommended that only those relating to the subject's main notability be used. A limit of three or, if really necessary, four stub templates is advised.
Line 49 ⟶ 56:

Once a stub has been properly expanded and becomes a larger article, any editor may remove its stub template. No [[Wikipedia:administrators|administrator]] action or formal permission is needed. Stub templates are usually located at the bottom of the page, and usually have a name like {{tlx|something-stub}} if you are using the classic wikitext editor rather than VisualEditor.
Many articles still marked as stubs have in fact been expanded beyond what is regarded as stub size. If an article is too large to be considered a stub but still needs expansion, the stub template may be removed and appropriate {{tl|expand section}} templates may be added (no article should contain both a stub template and an expand template).
