Hello Triddle, This gif is supposed to show the stub detector in action. Use it if you like (and if it works). Fg2 22:09, May 4, 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks, that picture is great! Triddle 22:16, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
- This has been moved to stubsensor#Suggestions; please see the discussion there.
The stub was removed from free nerve ending, apparently because of stubsensor, but it is in fact a stub. Apart from a general definition, and an extremely short description of different kinds of nerve endings (which isn't even complete), this article contains virtually no substance. I'd be very cautious about listing articles for de-stubbing solely based on their lengths. People who participate in the project should be suggested not to de-stub unless they are sure (ie: they actually know something about the topic) the article doesn't deserve a stub template. At the very least, you shouldn't count text in the references (or see also or external links) sections. --jag123 10:58, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
- The article may be incomplete yet not be a stub - I'd suggest that free nerve ending is the former but not the latter.
- "Stub" is not intended to be a "list of articles in this topic that need work" template. —Morven 03:21, May 7, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Finding copyvios
Stubsensor has proven quite useful in finding copyvio cut-and-pasted additions to articles - come across three so far. —Morven 03:21, May 7, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Run Stubsensor in reverse?
Is it feasible to generate a list of pages that are not tagged as stubs but should be? This could also identify any false negatives in the stub detection, because they would become false positives. Susvolans (pigs can fly) 12:29, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
