Here's how to fix up an incomplete page:

1. 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.

{{stub}} for the whole page or...

{{sectionstub}} for a specific section.

2. Before starting large amounts of work on the page, mark it with either...

This page is in progress.
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.

{{pageinprogress}} for the whole page or...

This section is in progress.
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.

{{inprogress}} for a specific section.

3. Sometimes you may need to merge the incomplete page with a larger page, in order for the information to flow better:

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