-==Proposal==
-I have a proposal to improve this stub perhaps it should be put in a box and have the Wikipedia logo next to it, just to raise awareness that it is the official Wikipedia stub. Don't get me wrong it is a fantastic design you must have worked hard and I don't want you to take my ideas the wrong way, they are merely suggestions. Anyway, tell me what you think. Thanks. [[User:L07ChLeo3|L07ChLeo3]] ([[User talk:L07ChLeo3|talk]]) 22:00, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
-:An understandable suggestion, but if you look through the archives of this page, you'll see that there have been similar proposals several times in the past and they've all been rejected. Stub messages are supposed to remain as discreet as possible, so as not to disrupt articles - putting them in a box defeats that purpose. As for it being "the official Wikipedia stub", there are several thousand official Wikipedia stub templates - this is simply the generic one (one which, theoretically at least, shouldn't really be used; stubs should all be given more specific stub types). So no offence intended - as I said, it's an understandable suggestion - but I doubt it would find too much favour.

-:I've nominated this for deletion at [[WP:SFD]] - as much as a procedural thing as for my personal views that it will create a lot of problems.

-== Proposal that {{tl|stub}} should be added with small "s" ==
-If {{tl|Stub}} is added, then a stub-sorter changing it to {{tl|England-footy-bio-stub}} etc has to delete the "S" and retype "s". If {{tl|stub}} is added, it saves the stub-sorter a couple of keystrokes - potentially many times a day.
-I '''propose''' that the wording in "Usage" be modified to read:
-::Typing {{tl|stub}} produces the message shown at the top, and adds the article to the following category:
-:::Category:stubs (Population: 1)
-::Note that {{tl|stub}} should be used rather than {{tl|Stub}}, because it saves work for an editor amending the stub to a specific stub template such as {{tl|painting-stub}}.
-(ie change the case of the template in 1st line, and add explanation in last sentence).

-:This gets proposed now and then - the issue is that there are too many for this to be workable or useful. There are several hundred thousand stub articles. --[[User:Qetuth|Qetuth]] ([[User talk:Qetuth|talk]]) 09:25, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
-::what I mean is implant the category into the stub template just like this stub template [[Special:Contributions/109.144.214.75|109.144.214.75]] ([[User talk:109.144.214.75|talk]]) 14:28, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
-:::No. {{cl|Stubs}} is supposed to be empty, or nearly so; if an article appears in that category, it is an indication that its {{tlx|stub}} must be replaced with something more specific. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 16:11, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
-::::The purpose of {{tl|stub}} is to allow stubs to be marked as such by users (or automated/semi-automated tools) who have no idea what stub templates they should use; {{cl|Stubs}} is a place for these articles to land, so that stub sorters can start to deal with them. I did [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Stub_types_for_deletion/Log/2010/November/15 nominate] to have the category renamed to {{cl|Unsorted stubs}}, but it clearly wasn't going to pass.  [[User:Od Mishehu|עוד&nbsp;מישהו]] [[User talk:Od Mishehu|Od&nbsp;Mishehu]] 13:56, 14 April 2013 (UTC)

-Hi, may an admin help me to add [[:File:Wiki_letter_w.svg]] to the beginning of the template? I see that all stub templates have pictures, but this one is an exception. Thanks.

-:{{EP|c}} Not all stub templates have images, see {{cl|Stub message boxes without images}}. --[[User:Redrose64|<span style="color:#a80000; background:#ffeeee; text-decoration:inherit">Red</span>rose64]] ([[User talk:Redrose64|talk]]) 08:23, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
-*This template is one which shouldn't be on a page for any length of time, and I think it's better if it looks plain and inconspicuous: it doesn't need an image. On the other hand, I'm always surprised when a subject-specific stub doesn't have an image, and would encourage them to be added to the 1,767 templates in the list cited above!
