What is Stub Week?
For the week of November 7 through November 13, we are--experimentally--actually encouraging Citizens to write very short articles, known as "stubs." We are also reducing the minimum content length to two sentences. Obviously we still require high quality.
It's time to start filling up the gaps, if only with stubs. Think of them as placeholders and enticements to further development.
Rules
Categories to add to stubs
On all stub pages, add three categories (you can copy and paste from here, if you like):
[[Category:Stub Articles]][[Category:CZ Live]]- At least one workgroup category, e.g.,
[[Category:Geography Workgroup]]
Are core articles fair game?
Feel free to create stubs out of CZ:Core Articles. But if someone expands your two-sentence article to 250 words, that person can claim the available points. Your bragging rights extend strictly to just starting the article.
No Wikipedia content, please
Please don't use Wikipedia content to start your stub.
If you are especially ambitious, start your stub as a subpagified article (this help page for a semi-automated solution) and compose the Related Articles page for the article. Then, make stubs for at least all the Parent Topics. Lather, rinse, repeat!
Experiment concludes November 13
After November 13, we will evaluate the experiment and the Editorial Council may (or may not) make "stub encouragement" an official policy.
