SmashWiki talk:Stubs

Short does not mean it's a stub

I've seen a lot of pages with stub (imo) inaccurately attached to pages. A lot of these pages are short not because they're incomplete, but because it's a small topic. This is frequently the case for definitions. Once a phrase has been defined and examples have been given, what else is there to add?

From what I understand stub refers to content, not to length. Typing more words, and adding superfluous sentences doesn't improve an article and actually harms it by making it more difficult to understand. See George Orwell.

If you stub tag something at least give a one or two liner on the talk page explaining what it lacks. Ryzol (talk) 05:18, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
