Here's how to fix up an incomplete page:
[edit] Stubs
A page with a stub tag is generally considered an incomplete page, in that it does not have all or enough information to be complete. There are two kinds of stubs:
Place {{stub}} at the bottom of a page to indicate that the whole page is a stub. You will see this:
Place {{sectionstub}} inside a specific section to indicate that just that portion of the page needs work. You will see this:
[edit] Pages and Sections in Progress
Sometimes you need to indicate that you are working on a page so that others will not edit it and cause edit conflicts. Don't forget to remove the following templates when you are through working on a page or section.

As always, you are welcome to assist by editing this page, but be aware that another user is currently adding and/or changing substantial content. This template should be removed once the page is complete.
Place {{inprogress}} at the top of a specific section to indicate that you are working on it. This is helpful when several people are choosing sections to work on in long lists or when someone is transcribing a brand-new toon. You will see this:
As a courtesy, please do not edit this section until this tag is removed. You are still welcome to edit other parts of the page.

- Copy the information...
- Blank the page you copied it from...
- And place the code #REDIRECT [[Larger page]] in its place...
