Not bad

New page

== What's a stub? ==
Stubs are articles that are very short, and are meant to be expanded upon. Think of them as placeholders until someone can expand on them. A good stub describes what the article might include, or perhaps gives links to include in the full article. It's a good idea to create a stub after creating a red link in an article.

== How can I make one? ==
All you have to do to turn a blank link into a stub is to write a short description of what the article could be about and then add in the stub message by typing this:
<pre>{{stub}}</pre>

'''This will be added to the page:'''
----
<div class="boilerplate metadata" id="stub" align=left>

[http://www.cacheopedia.com/w/index.php?title=Help:Contributing_to_Cacheopedia&action=edit adding to it]
</div>
----
'''Also, the page will be added to the [[:Category:Stubs|stubs]] category.'''

Having stubs included in this page gives eager contributors a centralized place to find things that need to be done.

Here's a good [[Stub Example|stub example]].
