This is a guide on how to use Stub Templates.

But before you add Template:Stub, check if the page is about a certain topic that should have a specific stub template.
Once you figure out which stub template to use simply add it to the bottom of the page.
The template will add Category:Stubs and the category specific to the template to the page so that people know what pages are stubs.
