Here's how to fix up an incomplete page:

1. Consider Special:Shortpages if you didn't already have a page in mind.

2. You may also notice pages with a stub tag on them...

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

{{sectionstub}} for a specific section.

3. Before starting significant 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.

4. If there is simply no hope of recovery for the impossibly incomplete page, you can copy its info into a larger page and redirect to that page:

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