Editing Brighter Shores:Stubs (section)

== What is a stub? ==

A stub is an article which does not cover all information available about the topic. However, just because an article is short, it does not mean it is a stub. Articles may be very short; however this is unavoidable when there simply is no more information to be added. This is true for many of the one-use quest items, characters which are only mentioned by name, and often for unreleased content. However while a short article is fine for a relatively unimportant subject, if an article on a prominent item or character were a few paragraphs long, it would still be considered a stub given the wealth of information available and the relative importance of the topic. As such an article's status as a stub is independent from length and other quantifiable data. 

There are some guidelines to recognize stubs. An article might not be not a stub if:
*Its infobox, if applicable, is completely filled out,
*It has at least one image apart from an inventory icon if it is possible for such an image to be obtained,
*It gives information about the location where the topic is encountered, if applicable,
*It gives information about any other items, locations, or NPCs relating to or interacting with the topic, if applicable,
*It gives information about any quests or activities relating to the topic, if applicable.
