Stub Pages

Posted 25 Oct 2019 Home»

A stub page is an incomplete story, topic, event, or project page that needs more content. It’s not about length. It’s about completeness. Most stub pages are short placeholders for content to be improved later.

The stub concept comes from Wikipedia stubs where summary entries mark entries for later expansion. Of course, there are lots and lots of stub articles on Wikipedia. Probably too many, but it is a useful concept.

When writing about a topic, other ideas for unwritten pages come to mind that should be linked from the new content. The choice is to either write down a reminder, create the page later, and hopefully remember to come back and create the link. Or, create a stub page now, link to it from the new content, and have a curated list of stub pages to work on later.

That’s why we have stub pages.

Anyone wishing to contribute content should contact us.
