What is a Stub?
Who determines that a page is considered a stub or not? How do you determine when a page meets all the requirements or is complete? Are there templates or criteria review against so when you update pages you know you have met all the requirements. Orionbeta98227 (talk) 21:21, 4 February 2019 (UTC)

"Who determines that a page is a Stub or not"? Whoever believes a page is a Stub. Simple as that. But for the most part, it's me. As admin and as a frequent user, I check every page that is made and check their quality. If it's not good or if it's lacking, I'll personally flag pages as Stub or for Cleanup. (There's a difference between the two btw but one can often implicate another.)

At the moment, stub assignment is rather arbitrary and varies from person to person. My personal measure for if a page is a Stub is if I personally believe there is clearly information lacking in the page or if the page feels too empty. I personally deem a page to no longer be a Stub when I think most information is present and that the page does not have anything noticeably missing. My example of a Stub is if the page just has a line or two of basic information... and that's it. My standards vary from page to page but I generally expect there to be comprehensive descriptions and all of the basic information covered (what is it, what does it do, where does it come from, how is it affected by other things, does it affect other things, etc.). I also look for the inclusion of images, infoboxes, tables, and other pieces that can help expand a page in a meaningful manner.

At some point, I will get back to work on the help/information section to better detail what I believe are Stubs, what should be deleted, what is good editing etiquette, and more. In the meantime, it's currently just a whole bunch of use common sense, look to other pages and wikis for inspiration, and ask around. LunaPixu&#160;(talk)&#160; 22:08, 4 February 2019 (UTC) P.S.
