 When writing a stub, use the following points as a guide:
-# Provide a "This is a stub" message by adding '''<nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki>''' to the end.
+# Provide a "This is a stub" message by adding '''<nowiki>{{Template:Stub}}</nowiki>''' at the very beginning of the article.
 # Follow the standards of correct English. Use clear, complete sentences. Again, you don't have to be perfect. At least attempt to be literate though.

+Remember when creating a stub that it eventually must be expanded upon and elaborated to be of any use. Don't just create a stub and walk away. Keep tabs on the stubs you create and try to elaborate upon them yourself. Frequent updates and modifications will keep the article high on the [[Special:Recentchanges|recent changes]] page. Wiki veterans keep tabs on this page and will likely jump in where they can and contribute. Even a short paragraph, or a question or point of debate on the stub's discussion page will help.
