How to remove stub status?
I've just expanded a stub for National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research. I didn't use the 'expand' option in the editing pane and I want to know how to remove its stub status. I can't find the answer in the FAQs or on the stub page (the latter tells you anyone can remove stub status, but it doesn't tell you how!).

I also want to change the category of the page, as currently it's categorised under New Zealand company - stub. I've tried looking to see if there is a category 'New Zealand company' but I haven't found one. I'm not sure if I'm looking in the right place! Where should I go to find such a category?

 * First of all, thanks for expanding the article, it's very much appreciated. Concerning the stub, if you click "edit" and scroll all the way to the bottom you should see on the second from bottom line. Just remove that. Concerning the category, it's currently in the category "Crown Research Institutes of New Zealand" which I think covers the "companies in New Zealand" thing adequately. If that's not clear, feel free to remove the "tlx|" part from the helpme tag and ask another question. Ta. --Closedmouth (talk) 06:45, 22 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks Closedmouth. Much appreciated. Would you consider adding a general explanation of how to remove stub status under that subsection on the stub page. I reckon I'm probably not the only newbie wondering how to do it. Cheers :) YDdraig (talk)

The blue superscript letters that appear before the ref titles is not a bug. They are created deliberately by the software and they link to each place in the article the reference is used. PrimeHunter (talk) 16:24, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
