== Removing the stub tag ==
== Removing the stub tag ==
If a former stub has been lengthened so that it can no longer be considered a stub, you may remove the stub tag without requesting permission to. You should, however, first look at the talk page and the page's history to see if the article's stub status has ever been disputed; if there has been such dispute, such dispute should be addressed and resolved before removing the stub tag. You also should not remove a stub tag just for the sake of artificially "decreasing" [[:Category:Stubs|the amount of stubs]] on the wiki; a maintenance category having a large number of articles in it is not inherently a bad thing, and they're necessary to divert editors' attention to articles that most need improvement. If you make a habit removing deserving stub tags without adequately expanding the article first, you will get reprimanded.
