Wikipedia:Find or fix a stub
A stub on Wikipedia is a very short article, generally of one paragraph or less. Most people hate stubs, even though they are a probably a necessary evil: many excellent Wikipedia articles started out as stubs.
Here are tips on how to write a good stub.
If you can't think of anything better to do, you can:
- search for stub articles and then list them here,
- better yet – fix one by adding more detail, or
- go through this list and remove links to articles that are no longer very short.
See also: Wikipedia:Most wanted stubs.
Feel free to add any you find or create, or delete the ones that have been fixed.
