Note that an article doesn't have to answer ''all'' these questions to avoid being classed as a stub. But a proper article will attempt to give a sort of context for the range that a stub lacks. | Note that an article doesn't have to answer ''all'' these questions to avoid being classed as a stub.

Articles which focus defining [[category:production team titles|behind-the-scenes jobs]] like "[[best boy]]" can also be stubs. These are usually seen as pages which merely give a list of all the people who have held that title. Such pages are actually just lists, not proper articles. A "job" page should endeavor to describe what the job is. Lists of the people holding those jobs are incidental, and often should be spun out into a page, like the as-yet-unwritten, [[List of best boys]]. | |||
Exactly how much information would be required to transfer a page from a "stub" to an "article" is another area where the editor's judgment is key. Generally, if you read an article about a job title, and you still don't really understand what the position is, or you know that the definition is lacking fundamental details, then it's a stub. | |||
The same is true of articles that attempt to define [[:category:terminology|production terminology]], like [[CSO]]. | |||
