According to the BRWiki stub policy, editors and writers should tag unfinished articles as "stubs". These are templates that add the article to a stub category so that they can be tracked down later for further addition and expansion.

The {{Stub/<sub-category>}} tag can be used at the top of pages, as well as inside sections of the page.

The stub templates also provide a visual cue to visitors that this page is indeed not finished, and, who knows, it might prompt some of them to start contributing to BRWiki!

This article or section is a (something) stub.   You can help expand it by clicking  edit this page  above. Info on how to help with this type of stub

• If you're stumped (pardon the horrible pun) as to which category to use, use {{Stub/Other}}, but please try to use one from the Stubs Quicksheet to the right (→).

If you created a stub previously and need to find it again, or just want to help fill out some stubs, start looking in Category:Stubs. It contains a listing of all the stub categories – each of the different stub templates place articles in their own category, e.g. "Stubs/Item", "Stubs/Quest", etc.

• If you see a stub you'd like to work on, feel free to add to and edit it, but keep in mind the editing policy and the writing policy.

• Looking at the  discussion  page, or pages that link to the page ("What links here" link in the left hand toolbar), might give you valuable clues to what the page should contain.

• While working on the article, you should generally leave the {{Stub/<sub-category>}} tag in.

• If you think the article you worked on is complete enough (has the basic information the article's title suggests), you can remove the stub tag.

Here follow detailed descriptions of when each type of stub tag should be used:
