Here's how to fix up an incomplete page:
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:
This article is a stub. You can help the Homestar Runner Wiki by expanding it.Place {{sectionstub}} inside a specific section to indicate that just that portion of the page needs work. You will see this:
This section of the page is incomplete. You can help the Homestar Runner Wiki by expanding it.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.
Place {{pageinprogress}} at the top of a page to indicate that you are working on or creating the whole page. Do not place this template on a page that a lot of people are editing (like a brand-new toon, for example). You will see this:
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.

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:
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.

Merging Pages
Sometimes you may need to merge an incomplete page with a larger page, in order for the information to flow better:
First, get a dicussion and/or vote running with {{Merge}}.
It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with article. (Discuss)
- Copy the information...
- Blank the page you copied it from...
- And place the code #REDIRECT [[Larger page]] in its place...
