Stub article

From Studyplace

A "stub article" is an initial entry for an article that needs substantial development. To start a stub, enter a keyword for it in the "new page" box in the lefthand column and click "create page." That will bring up an editing box for the page. Enter {{stub}}. On a new line, follow that with a few sentences giving a brief explanation of what the article should develop into, so that others will know enough about what it is about to help develop it, should they be so inclined.

Wikipedia explains the uses of stub articles fully and well.
