View source for Thelemapedia:Find or fix a stub

:''This article is about underdeveloped articles on Thelemapedia.''

A '''stub''' is a very short article, generally of one paragraph or less.  Most stubs fail to cover all but the most trivial subjects completely. However, this does not mean the stub is not a legitimate article—it just needs to be expanded.

The Thelemapedia software can display links to stubs differently if you set the '''Threshold for stub display''' higher than 0 (e.g. 200) to mark articles shorter than 200 characters. This makes it easy to find/fix (add content to) a stub. See [[Special:Preferences]] to set your threshold.  

== Stub alert! ==
If you create a stub, please add the following tag to the post: '''<nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki>''' This will make the article display the following text from [[Template:stub]]:

: {{stub}}

It encourages other users to expand the article.

When you've added to the article, and it no longer looks like a stub, remove this message.

== Expanding stubs ==

To expand a stub, you can incorporate and cite references about the topic in books, magazines, or newspapers; visit external links, if any, within the article; or you can search [[Google]] or [[Yahoo!]] for information about the topic.  [This paragraph is a stub and should be expanded.]
