A stub is a short article which has not yet received special editing attention from the GTAModding community, and therefore contains very little information.

A stub generally contains 3-10 sentences - an explanatary paragraph on the article's subject. If it is shorter than this, then it is not seen as good enough quality for an article; if it is substantially more than this, then it is a fully-fledged article, and not a stub.

Stubs should be marked clearly as a stub, and there should ideally be an invitation for the community to edit it and turn it in to a better article.

Templates

The following templates have been created to put on stub pages:

Template:File-stub
Template:Memory-stub
Template:Tool-stub
Template:Tutorial-stub
Template:Stub

Format

All stubs should look like this:

This X article is a stub. You can help by expanding it.

Where 'X' is the type of article, linking to its category; Where 'stub' links to Help:Stub; Where 'expanding it' links to the edit page of the stub.
