The '''Stub''' template adds a [[Template:Mbox|message box]] to inform readers of pages that are stubs. It also places the page in [[:Category:Stubs]].

Pages can be considered as stubs if they amount to only a short description, or have only a basic, minimal amount of content.

~~Stubs should~~ not ~~be filled in by~~ copy-~~pasting large sections of~~ text from Wikipedia, because ~~over time~~ the result simply becomes an outdated copy of Wikipedia and ~~does not add~~ significant value to the Xenharmonic Wiki. [[Template:Wikipedia]] can be used to link to the appropriate Wikipedia article instead.

If you are starting a new page, please do not simply copy-paste text from Wikipedia, because if you do the result simply becomes an outdated copy of Wikipedia over time and adds little significant value to the Xenharmonic Wiki. [[Template:Wikipedia]] can be used to link to the appropriate Wikipedia article instead.
