Wikiversity:Stub
From Wikiversity
Stubs are Wikiversity modules that have not yet received substantial attention from the editors of Wikiversity, and do not yet contain sufficient information on their subject matter. In other words, they are short or insufficient pieces of information and require additions to further increase Wikiversity's usefulness. The community values stubs as useful first steps toward complete modules. Anyone can complete or expand a stub.

[edit] Stub sorting
Wikiversity's sister project, Wikipedia has a group devoted to Stub sorting. Our focus is to accomodate Stubs early on in the process of building Wikiversity. What we do is examine Category:Stubs and make sure that each entry includes the following:
- Some association with a Wikiversity School, division or department
- At least one link to a relevant Wikipedia article
- A relevant category
- At least one external link if appropriate
If you create a stubby article, lesson, topic or even a proposed school, please include the above along with the {{stub}}} tag so we can see it. Specialized stub templates for schools can be found in Category:Stub templates.
It would be useful to sort stubs into categories corresponding to these subject areas: Engineering and Technology · Fine Arts · Humanities · Interdisciplinary Studies · Life Sciences · Physical Sciences · Mathematics · Social Sciences · Practical Arts and Sciences. It would then be possible to list the stubs for each subject area on the "to do" list for each portal.
[edit] Other templates
[edit] Welcome templates
Templates that mark pages as stubs are:
- {{Welcome and expand}} - adds pages to Category:Stub pages
- {{Main welcome}} - adds pages to Category:Empty pages
- {{Template:0%done}} - adds a project box stating that the page is a stub
[edit] Page creation templates
Templates for getting common types of Wikiversity pages started are at Category:Page creation templates.
