Stubs are article placeholders: in other words, they are pages which are intended to include content in the future on the PoliceWiki, but that information has not been added yet.

All stubs should be listed at Category:Stubs. All users are welcome to add content to a stubs page; however, please check the discussion page for that stub first to see if someone has already claimed and/or is working on that stub already. If sufficient time (1 month) has passed since the claim was posted, you are welcome to post a new claim to the article discussion and submit content instead.

How to add content to a stub page

  • Do not create a new article with a different name. For instance, if you wanted to add content to the Sonja Kristina stub article, open that link and select "edit" from the top toolbar.
  • Delete {{Stub}} and [[Category:Stub]] from the article text you are editing. Replace this text with the information you are adding to the article. Templates are available at Help:Templates to make creating new article content for stubs and new pages simpler. Just chose the template that best applies to the article you are converting from a stub (in this case, [[Template:Person]]), copy and paste the template into the article, and edit the data as necessary. Sections can be added or removed from the template as necessary.
