How can you figure out whether or not an article can appropriately be tagged a stub? That depends on the subject. | How can you figure out whether or not an article can appropriately be tagged a stub? That depends on the subject. | ||
* '''[[Crew]] and [[Smasher]] articles''': a minor, regional-level player (such as [[Aftermath]]) should never be tagged a stub, because SmashWiki just has too many short Smasher articles.

On the other hand, a Smasher that competes on the national level (such as [[Isai Alvarado]]) or has great significance in the Smash [[community]] or tournament scene (such as [[Gideon]]) ''should'' be tagged a stub if the subject's influence isn't adequately discussed. These same guidelines apply to [[crew]]s as well. | ||
* '''[[Gameplay]] articles''': every gameplay-related article requires a description or definition of the subject, or else it is a stub. You should also tag important gameplay elements (such as [[wavedash]]) as stubs if they do not discuss how the subject relates to the community or to tournament play. | * '''[[Gameplay]] articles''': every gameplay-related article requires a description or definition of the subject, or else it is a stub.

A character article is a stub if it does not discuss the character's most notable attributes in the game, such as his or her [[special attacks]] (you do ''not'', however, need to include in-depth information about that character's appearance in other, non-Smash games). | ||
* '''[[Stage]] articles''': a stage article is a stub if it does not at least describe the stage's layout. This includes the movement of stages such as [[Brinstar Depths]] or [[Hyrule Castle]]. A stage article should also indicate its [[tournament legal|legality]] in tournaments. | |||

If a former stub has been lengthened so that it can no longer be considered a stub, you may remove the stub tag. You do not need to request permission to take it off. In some cases, however, it would be nice if you made a note of it in the article's talk page, particularly if the page's stub status is controversal. | If a former stub has been lengthened so that it can no longer be considered a stub, you may remove the stub tag.
