A stub is a short article, usually only a few sentences in length. It is not so short as to admit of no utility to The TARDIS Index File wiki, but it is so obviously missing information that even casual fans of Doctor Who would probably view it as incomplete.

It is important to note that a stub is not only a short article. Some longer articles may be classed as stubs if they're obviously lacking major points. And many articles on this wiki are about minor subjects, about which not more than a few sentences can be written.

Stubs are identified through the placement of on pages which lack enough information to be considered proper articles. Because these templates automatically add pages to various lists of articles needing improvement, editors must exercise sound judgment when deciding to use these templates. If stub templates are used indiscriminately, the lists will become overwhelming to those editors who choose to use the lists to prioritize their work on the wiki.
