Please refer toWikipedia:Stub andWP:WSS for information regarding stub creation and, especially, sorting.
TheStub Makers areWikipedians whose primary existence in Wikipedia is to createstubs. This may encourage new articles when others are unhappy with the stub and decide to expand it. Unfortunately, this also creates more work for other Wikipedians that contribute substantially and fills up therecent changes list. It is advised that if you are a stub maker and wish to help users browsing the site, you should at a minimum put anaccurate and precise description of the article with at the very leastone reference cited (but ideallymore than one). This helps people browsing the site by assuring them that they have the right article, although it is only a stub, and helps fellow Wikipedians expand on the stub by informing them what the article is meant to be about.
Stub Makers are welcome to add one or more of these userboxes to their userpage by adding the code behind the userbox.
