[edit] Stub

Hi slowzaf. The way to add the stub message is to use a template, {{stub}} if you just want to get

This article is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it.

But it's better to categorize the stub so you get "this vampire-related article is a stub" or "this fruit-related article is a stub", or whatever. But to do that you need to find the specific template that will put it in that category. Is the article you're talking about High Kick!? To find the template, I'd go to Category:television or something broad like that and look at the subcategories until I found one I thought it would fit in. Then I'd look under μ in the subcategories of that category to see if there is a "stub" subcategory (subcategories are listed in alphabetical order, but they have μ as the last letter and any stub categories are listed under it). Then I'd go to that category, which will usually say what to type to add that template.

By doing this, I found Category:Television program stubs, and the template {{tv-prog-stub}}, which you add to the bottom of the page to tag an article as a tv program stub. You could get even more specific and put it in Category:Comedy television series stubs using {{comedy-tv-prog-stub}} instead if you think it fits in that category. Let me know if this helps or if you need more info. Peace, delldot talk 21:27, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Please do not blank pages and replace page with {{stub}}. This may be vandalism. Amos Han Talk 01:31, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

how do i get more ppl to edit it?

Hey, just checking in to see how you're doing. If you want more people to edit a particular article, you can tag it with maintenance tags stating what kind of work needs to be done (e.g. {{wikify}} to get someone to add links, categories, etc.; {{copyedit}} to get someone to correct spelling, grammar, etc. {{tone}}, and so on). Another thing to do might be to join a Wikipedia:wikiproject and let other folks involved in the same type of subjects know about the article. Maybe try Wikipedia:WikiProject Television. You can leave a note on the talk page and someone may get involved. You can always ask me for help, too. Need anything else? Let me know. Peace, delldot talk 21:46, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
