If I recall correctly, I saw discussion here yesterday (I forget where) that we need a stub template again. What do others think, in cases for articles like [[List of Nintendo DS games]], which are an incomplete list.

- We have Admins who create uncategorized, orphaned stubs. So of course new users see this and do so likewise. An Admin's job in fact is to help and teach new users to Categorize and de-orphan, among a zillion other things.
