General rules


 * To put an article into a stub category, if it is a chemistry stub for example, change the existing stub tag (if it exists) from stub to chem-stub.
 * Never subst stub templates.
 * When sorted leave an edit summary like this:  Stub-sorting. You can help! 
 * It is common practice to put the tag at the very bottom of the article, after all other templates and often after the categories.
 * No stub article should sit in only a stub category as this association is meant to be temporary. If no other category is listed, please add the standard article category that is the parent of the stub category.
 * Please remember to use the list of stub categories to make sure you are putting stubs in the correct category.
 * If the article is no longer a stub, remove the stub template. Refer to Stub for more information on this matter.

Things to do


 * The biggest stub subcategory as of 11 November 2005 is Category:Film stubs (film-stub). See the project's To Do list for those categories which are very large and those categories for which new sub categories have recently been added and thus need to be resorted.
 * Basic stubs have been cleared out, but the Category:Stubs still needs watching so unsorted stubs don't pile up again.
 * All other stub categories need watching as well, to sort out mislabeled stubs and subsort them further, if applicable.
 * Stubs without any stub tags can be found on Special:Shortpages, Special:Newpages or Special:Randompage.
 * A longer list of oversized stub categories to be split, in order of size, is here: WikiProject Stub sorting/To do.  This might also be used as a holding area for proposals not yet created, and for sub-categories in need of being sorted-down into.
