The word '''stub''' means something that is very short. On Wikipedia, a '''stub''' is a short article. When writers begin a new article, they use the word stub to mean that it is still very short and that people can add a lot more useful information.
For example: 'In 1910 New Orleans Jazz Began.' As opposed to : The start of Jazz music was first played in New Orleans in 1910.'
Myr sampleyr: "She balley ayns Mannin eh '''Doolish'''".
If you make or find a stub, add these special words (text) to ask other users to make the article longer. The easy way to do this is to use the shortcut: '''<tt><nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki></tt>'''

The [[MediaWiki]] [[software]] can make stubs obvious for you. To make it do this, set the '''Threshold for stub display''' higher than 0. This makes it easy to find or fix (make into a longer article) a stub. See [[Special:Preferences]] to set your threshold, or [[Help:User preferences]] for more help on this and other settings.

Most stubs are only one [[paragraph]] or sometimes they are only a few lines. Stubs do not contain a [[wikt:complete|complete]] description of a [[wikt:subject|subject]].
# Cur stiagh fogrey "She sheel eh" liorish cur ayn '''<nowiki>{{sheel}}</nowiki>'''. Nee shen cur fys da sleih dy vel feme er mooadaghey ec yn art.
# Make a "This is a stub" message by adding '''<nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki>'''. (See [[Wikipedia:Template messages]] for more.). This will tell people who read the article that work needs to be done. Some people watch the [[Special:Recentchanges|Newest Changes]] page, but adding the message will tell more people.

# If you can read unsimple English easily (for example, English is your first language), you may want to look at the article on the [[:en:|main English Wikipedia]] and make a simple version of that article on this Wikipedia.

# Give a good [[definition]] or description of your topic. For biographies and articles about non-concepts (e.g., about countries and cities), definitions are impossible, so begin with a clear, helpful, informative description of the subject. For articles or stubs about a person, tell what he or she is famous for. For a place, tell where it is and what it is known for. For an event, tell what it was and when it happened. A good definition or description may encourage contributors by suggesting the limits of the article, indirectly summarizing what needs to be done. For example, '''''Salvador Allende''' was the President of Chile from 1970 until 1973'' would be a good description.
# Cur fys ayns y "Giare-choontey" son dy ghow tastey sleih elley.
# Try to give more than just a definition--at least a little more. It doesn't hurt to be provocative, as long as you attempt to have a [[Wikipedia:Neutral point of view|neutral point of view]] and be reasonably accurate. What is interesting and important about the subject? If your introduction would make someone want to read more, then it will probably encourage someone to write more. As little as one extra sentence can turn a good description into a great stub, e.g. '''''Salvador Allende''' was the President of Chile from 1970 until 1973. The CIA might have been involved in the military revolt that put him out of government.'' You don't have to know any more yourself; many people will be very eager to fill in the details.
# Cur currym yn art ort hene. Mannagh beagh peiagh erbee elley cur fys da, jannoo shen dty hene, my nod oo.
# Make sure any relevant linkable words have been linked. But be careful about which words you link to; see [[Wikipedia:Naming conventions]]. e.g. '''''Salvador Allende''' was the President of [[Chile]] from [[1970]] until [[1973]]. The [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] might have been involved in the military revolt that put him out of government.''
# Submit the article with a Summary comment that will attract the attention of others to your stub. At least, cut and paste the stub itself into the Summary field when you save your article.
# Be responsible for your stub article. If nobody contributes to your stub for a few weeks, try to make it better yourself. Take the fact that nobody has contributed as a hint that your stub might not have been that great, and if nothing else, try to make it a better stub.
