Editing LucidWiki:Stubs

This article explains the concept of a stub, how to designate articles as a stub and how to create new stub categories.

== What is a stub? ==

A stub is a small article, normally no more than one or two lines. It only introduces a topic, e.g.

'''Hypnagogia''' are experiences a person may experience when falling asleep. The person experiences visual, auditory or tactile hallucinations.

The article, obviously, requires more work to make it complete. You can designate it as a stub to show to other users that work is needed.

== Stub category ==

For easy retrieval, all stubs are added to the [http://lucid.wikia.com/index.php?title=Category:Stubs Stubs category]. This is to make those pages easier to locate and expand.

== How can I make my article a stub? ==

That's easy. Just insert at the bottom of the article one of the lines shown to the right in the ''Available Stub Categories'' section below.

== Available Stub Categories ==

{| width=50% border=1 align=center
|align=center| Category
|align=center| Code to insert
|align=center| Link to template
|-
|align=center| Generic stub
|align=center| <tt><nowiki> {{stub}} </nowiki></tt>
|align=center| [[Template:Stub]]
|-
|align=center| [[Lucid dream|Lucid dreaming]] 
|align=center| <tt><nowiki> {{Lucid dreaming-stub}} </nowiki></tt>
|align=center| [[Template:Lucid dreaming-stub]]
|-
|align=center| [[Induction]] 
|align=center| <tt><nowiki> {{Induction-stub}} </nowiki></tt>
|align=center| [[Template:Induction-stub]]
|}

== How do I make a new stub category? ==

Create a new article named <tt> Template:X-stub </tt> where X is the subject name.

When first editing it, follow this format:

<tt> <nowiki>
''This article on [[X|Y]] is a [[LucidWiki:Stubs|stub]]. You can help [[Main Page|LucidWiki]] by [{{SERVER}}{{localurl:{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}|action=edit}} expanding it]''

</nowiki></tt>

Where <tt>X</tt> is the main article on the subject and <tt>Y</tt> is the subject name.

Please then mention it in the ''Available Stub Categories'' section above.
