''Please refer to [[Wikipedia:Stub]] and [[WP:WSS]] for information regarding stub creation and, especially, sorting.''<br />
<br />
The '''Stub Makers''' are [[Wikipedia:Wikipedians|Wikipedians]] whose primary existence in Wikipedia is to create [[Wikipedia:stub|stubs]]. This may encourage new articles when others are unhappy with the stub and decide to expand it. Unfortunately, this also creates more work for other Wikipedians that contribute substantially and fills up the ''recent changes list''. It is advised that if you are a stub maker and wish to help users browsing the site, you should at a minimum put an accurate and precise description of the article with at least one reference cited. This helps people browsing the site by assuring them that they have the right article, although it is only a stub, and helps fellow Wikipedians expand on the stub by informing them what the article is meant to be about. <br />

==Userboxes for Stub Creators==<br />
Stub Makers are welcome to add one or more of these userboxes to their userpage by adding the code behind the userbox.<br />
