ଛାଞ୍ଚ:Stub/doc

This template is intended to mark process and background pages as incomplete stubs in need of expansion. It will select the right stub template based on user input or the namespace.

It is not intended for use in the content namespaces (main, author and portal). If it is used in these namespaces, it will insert the {{incomplete}} template instead.

Usage

The template can be entered in three main ways:

{{stub}}

{{stub|subject|qualifier}}

{{stub
  | subject   = 
  | qualifier = 
}}

Parameters

There are two optional parameters, neither needs to be named.

• subject: This will specify the type of stub, based on a keyword or the namespace. This is used both in the template wording and for automatic categorisation.
• qualifier: Any user generated text to specify the purpose of the stub page. This text will appear after the word "page" in the template.

Subject keywords

The subject keyword controls the description and the categorisation of the page. If no subject is used, or a keyword is not recognised as one of the following, a default description and categorisation is derived from the namespace.
