Stubs? What the frak?

A stub is a placeholder -- or seed, if you will -- for an entry that needs to be added upon. Stubs are easily fixable by just adding more information to the entry.

Removing the Stub Message

Should you have edited a stub to the point where you feel that it is no longer a stub, simply remove the {{''category''-stub}} text, which should be at the bottom of the text box. (The italicized category signifies the actual category message that'll print, i.e. colonial or cylon). It'll remove the message.

Adding a Stub Message

Should you run into a link that has no text at all (and do not have any content to fill it with), refer to the stub list for the list of stubs available to use.
