Nooooo... Not really. 3dejong


 * I don't think it looks very nice. It kind of separates the template from the article. Monty Mole ( Talk&middot;Contribs ) 19:43, 18 October 2006 (EDT)

I made it look a little better. Yep, still don't think it's needed. -- Steve (talk) 19:46, 18 October 2006 (EDT)

Hey...
Since any article that is a stub is deleted, why do we still HAVE this template? TheGreatBlockyBoo 19:02, 25 August 2007 (EDT)


 * There are still a ton of stub articles on the wiki that were previously created. -- Son of Suns


 * About stubs.... What if there is little info and no way to get more? TheGreatBlockyBoo 20:29, 26 August 2007 (EDT)


 * There should always be a way to get more info. Be creative! -- Son of Suns

So... Once the stubs are gone, the template goes too?


 * Well, we don't need to delete it, just in case stubs become okay again (which won't happen until we expand our current stubs). -- Son of Suns


 * <.> Why is it that we hate stubs? TheGreatBlockyBoo 20:43, 26 August 2007 (EDT)


 * I don't think we should be deleting any stub articles, isn't SOME info better then NONE?
 * Well most articles only state obvious and can hurt the wikis image, I'd rather have no info then one line stubs.
 * Well, there's a difference between "Pirate Goomba is a Pirate goomba." style article and other that state some info, but could be expanded greatly.

Stub or Rewrite-expand?
Is there any policy of when to use this template and when that one? To me, they seem to serve exactly the same purpose. I always wonder which to use on short articles (using both seems redundant). 13:16, 19 September 2008 (EDT)
 * The way I saw it used, Stub seems to be used for articles that amount to nothing more than "X is a character/items/thing in [game]", while RW-expand is for article that do have informations, but incredibly unspecific and poorly written. But yeah, there's no policy for those templates. --Blitzwing 14:15, 19 September 2008 (EDT)
