A stub is Wikipedia's term for an article too short for its subject, and requires an expansion. It usually contains just a short definition of the subject, with no further details.

Whether an article is a stub or not depends on the subject of the article. For example, an article like Kurtz can contain very few details, and yet not be considered a stub- as there is no further information available on the character. However, if an article like Jerome Baldino would contain nothing but

Jerome Baldino is Twinsen's best friend. He first lived in Proxima Island, then moved to Desert Island.

then it would definitely be considered a stub.

To improve the Twinsunica, one thing you can do is work on expanding the stubs in it. Additionally, in most cases, it is preferable not to create a stub; only create an article if you have a bit more to say than, for example, "Twinsen is the hero of the planet".

Note: On the transform to MediaWiki, lots of stub articles were created, just for the sake of putting the character's infobox. However, at some point this stopped, and now most of the stubs are in the characters section, containing nothing but an infobox. This method is not recommended, and should be avoided.

For a list of all the stub articles in the Twinsunica, see the Stubs category.
