Frequently Asked Questions

Stubs

  • What is a stub?
  • How do we indicate that a page is a stub?
Quick reading shows that a stub is a user created template. If, for example you set up Template:Stub, you can call the stub template using {{Stub}}. Best to look at the basic Mediawiki Template help for this [[1]]. You could in fact use the link here to write the basic template. This would also apply to writing the templates for things like groups, artists, etc. Stephensd 16:50, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
I've attempted this (apparently successfully!) on the page for Rita Pace --Toni Sant (talk) 19:41, 22 September 2010 (UTC)

Cleanup

  • What is a cleanup tag?
This is for pages that are no longer stubs but don't conform to our (as yet to be written) desired style quality. My first inclusion of the tag (i.e. curly brackets around the word cleanup) is on the page Walter Vella. --Toni Sant (talk) 11:37, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
