Empty Stubs
Empty stubs don't add value at Wikiversity. I'm currently cleaning up empty stubs that were created more than 10 years ago that were never modified. Rather than creating empty subpages with a stub template, add at least a minimum paragraph explanation of the concept so readers can understand why the page was created and what you wanted them to learn from that concept. Thanks for your consideration. -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 14:26, 3 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the note. However, it's harder to implement in the Software Design project. E. g. consider a stub which I recently added: Software_Design/Require_the_least_powerful_abstract_class_you_need_to_implement_a_function: the title is already quite descriptive, it sounds like a checklist item. And somebody browsing Category:Software_Design/Practices_applying_to_functions may already benefit from this page being present, even not knowing it is a stub. On the other hand, it's not an article like "Cat" on Wikipedia in which I could add a small paragraph like "Cat is a small domestic animal." To expand Software_Design/Require_the_least_powerful_abstract_class_you_need_to_implement_a_function in a minimally meaningful way (beyond just the title), actually, almost the entire article should be completed, which takes from one to several hours. Given this dilemma, I choose to add a stub page rather than not adding any page at all. Leventov (discuss • contribs) 09:29, 4 November 2019 (UTC)


 * If you, as course designer, see no need to extend the content, no one else will see a need, either. You can just leave out . It doesn't add value. Thanks! -- Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 14:03, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
