Forum:Expand template

There are a number of articles on the site, most notably 13 Bannerman Road, which are labeled as stubs, but have a good deal more content than I would associate with a stub article.

On Wikipedia, these articles are labeled with the Expand tag. When I went to put this tag on the Bannerman article, it was redlinked -- the site didn't recognize it.

Do we use the expand tag? And if not, should we?--Daniel@AlephGaming.com 02:52, 19 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't see why there should be two tags which have similar purpose (just one is more so). I mean, if the page has a stub or a expand tag it would still need more content.


 * Of course, this just makes me wonder why we have both a Clean Up and Gone to Pot Template. -<Azes13 03:27, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

The main reason that occurs to me is that it helps us to prioritize what pages need to be added to. By having a separate section for stubs and expand articles, we can see what barely has any content and needs updating to be of any use, and what has a good bit of information, but could do with more.

A simple way of looking at it, I suppose, is this: What is the purpose of having the Stub Template, and would that purpose be better served/utilized by having a separate Expand template?--TheOmnius 03:39, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
