	A stub is an article that, although providing enough information to describe the topic, is too limited to provide encyclopedic coverage of a subject. Stubs should be expanded with additional information until the topic is covered thoroughly. This doesn't mean that large amounts of text or images are needed to make the article longer. Rather, the goal should be to clearly explain all relevant aspects of the topic in a concise way. Once this is done the article should be considered fully created, no longer a [[draft]] or stub, and updates should focus on improving the content or updating it to stay current.
