Wikiversity:Rootsub Essay



Rootsub is a four way portmanteau of the project's "rootpage" (also called a "landing page"), "subpage", and "subpar", as well as "stub" (without the "t".)  I propose that we do two things with resources that are just stubs:
 * 1) Google, where   might be the stub's pagename.  Pick at least three Wikiversity pages and copy from the first paragraph to create a summary of that article.  Feel free to add links from other wikis, or even external links if you wish.  As shown below, it is very easy to reference links to WMF wikis.
 * 2) Paste the text   near the bottom of the stub. That will create a Call for contributions that encourages students to write something on a subpage with an incoming link from the landing place. See Template:callforcontributions for the latest draft of this template.
 * 3) (Optional) Create the subpage  and make it's contents a redirect using the script:
 * 4) (Whenever appropriate) Add a sister link to Wikipedia. Either   or:
 * or:
