It is a violation of [[Metroid Wiki: Quality Standards|our quality standards]] to create articles as stubs. You can either write an article of sufficient length that can be modified later, or you can create a sub-page for works in progress. Thanks and keep contributing.

:Huh, I never realized that. Sorry, just wanted to get up to 1000 articles. --[[User:Nintendbob|Nintendbob]] 09:56, 16 July 2011 (UTC) | :Huh, I never realized that. Sorry, just wanted to get up to 1000 articles. --[[User:Nintendbob|Nintendbob]] 09:56, 16 July 2011 (UTC) | ||
::Yeah, 1000 articles is a nice goal and all, but article boosting isn't acceptable. It's hard to brag about having 1000 articles if a bunch of them are one or two lines. And that part of the quality standards really should be revised. It was placed there after a large-scale vandal attack where the vandal would create articles on the wanted pages list. So our users decided to create them first simply by placing something like: | |||
:::"<nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki><br />Missile is a weapon."<br /> | |||
::Creating articles that are stubs is okay, so long as they are acceptable stubs. It's difficult to define an "acceptable stub", but there is a big difference between one-line article-boosting pages and actually starting a page but being unable to provide sufficient information. Most of your articles are alright, Nintendbob, but some are one-line article boosters. You did manage to raise our article count significantly though, props, lol. Rather than deleting some, maybe we could try expanding? Oh btw M4E, the delete template is placed as the very first line of the page, you don't have to delete what was previously there. I haven't seen that delete template in a while lol {{:User:Malake256/sig}} 16:29, 16 July 2011 (UTC) | |||
