Latest revision as of 02:49, 16 March 2007

This page is an official policy of Battlestar Wiki.
This policy is considered by the community and its leadership to be the status quo of Battlestar Wiki and is not to be countermanded or ignored, though changes to it can be discussed on the appropriate talk page. This policy was implemented on 18 November 2004.

Stubs? What the frak?

A stub is a placeholder -- or seed, if you will -- for an entry that needs to be added upon. Stubs are easily fixable by just adding more information to the entry.

Removing the Stub Message

Should you have edited a stub to the point where you feel that it is no longer a stub, simply remove the {{''category''-stub}} text, which should be at the bottom of the text box. (The italicized category signifies the actual category message that'll print, i.e. colonial or cylon). It'll remove the message.

Adding a Stub Message

Should you run into a link that has no text at all (and do not have any content to fill it with), refer to the stub list for the list of stubs available to use.
