A stub is a placeholder indicator or marker for an unfinished article in a wiki.
Its purpose is to inform visitors that they've arrived at a very unfinished page (as opposed to a normal wiki page which simply never gets finished), and also to automatically classify the page to make it easier for contributors to find and fill out.
The other implication of a stub is that the editor who added the stub marker probably doesn't intend to fill out what they think is missing in the near future.

If you created a stub previously and need to find it again, or just want to help fill out some stubs, start looking in Category:Article Stub.
