:I believe preexisting stubs that contain no information- if placed in the main Article categories- don't encourage contributions. Instead I believe the Article categories should contain only articles (or stubs) containing at least ''some'' information, the more the better. However, bare-bones stubs could be kept in the Undeveloped articles category so they don't disappoint someone doing a search for info. | :I believe preexisting stubs that contain no information- if placed in the main Article categories- don't encourage contributions.

| − | + | *compiling some basic framework stubs and submitting them individually into the 'active' article Categories (i.e. adding the stubs to the Brakes, Cooling, etc., categories, I could add some basic info as a start) | |

| + | ::Agreed that preexisting stubs with no information don't encourage contributions. They may even '''dis'''courage contributions, because they make the wiki look like it has no content. Agreed on keeping stubs with some information, but keeping them out of the main categories. In looking at your recommendations above, I think one of the best options might be to add an "Undeveloped" sub-category to each of the main categories.--[[User:Jon|Jon]] 11:59, 19 June 2012 (MDT) | ||
