User blog:RBlitzwolfer/Tips on Expanding a Stub

A stub, known as an article stub, is when a page/article has a lack of information and does not provide the reader with any new knowledge. Many of the articles on the wikia are stubs. This is because not many do not have the information, not many people know of the topic itself, or people don't have the time to research into the article. This blog post will hopefully help users how to expand an article.

How do I know if an article is not a stub?
It will depend on the topic.

For community-based articles, such as groups, users, games, and other articles talking about the community, it should have a minimum of two to three lengthy paragraphs.

For catalog-based articles, such as accessories, packages, faces, heads, and gears, they should have a short paragraph about the topic, along with a table or a section talking about its history.

For ROBLOX in general, such as API, ingame mechanics, ROBLOX features, ROBLOX events, and ROBLOX updates, it should have three to five lengthy paragraphs talking about it.

How do I expand an article?
Again, it will depend on the topic. Here are the questions you should think about when expanding a stub, or creating an article itself.


 * Players: What is the user famous for? What did he do? Is the player owner or a high rank of any groups? What past creations has the player made? What does the ROBLOX community think of the player?
 * Place: What is the place? What is its use and purpose? What is its gameplay? What updates has it received? What badges can you earn and what gamepasses can you buy? What does the community think about the place?
 * Groups: What is the group's owner? What is the group's use and purpose? What does the group do? What did the group do in the past? Who is part of the group? What does the community think about the group?
 * Catalog Items: What is the item? How much does it cost? What is its description? What does the community think about it? What happened in the item's past? When was the item created?
 * ROBLOX features, API, ingame mechanics: What does it do? How does it work? What does it look like (for visual features)? What is its purpose? Did anything change about it in the past?
 * ROBLOX Events: What is the event about? When did the event take place? Were there any prizes, and if so, what were they and how could you obtain them? What did the community think about the event?
