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.

The software can automatically mark short entries if you set the Threshold for stub display higher than 0. This makes it easy to find or fix a stub. See Special:Preferences. 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.

• Wikipedia:The perfect stub article.
• Wikipedia:Most wanted stubs

Feel free to add any you find or create, or delete the ones that have been fixed.
