Page Discussion

What happened to the box? I kinda like it... it gives a nice emphasis to the fact that an article is a stub. --pepoluan (talk | contribs) 01:39, 21 September 2006 (CDT)

Hmm... how else could we emphasise it? A graphic like Wikipedia? I dunno, I just think it makes people look at the big stub notice instead of the article, and then looking at the stub notice (and possibly expanding it.) (sbirtnoc | klat) elibomttoillE 02:57, 21 September 2006 (CDT)

Maybe like the talkheader template; the border is subdued (or none), color is pale-blue-ish, text need not be bold but only italics. --pepoluan (talk | contribs) 03:00, 21 September 2006 (CDT)

Usage?

Someone in the forums here said that stubs should be located on top of an article. --pepoluan (talk | contribs) 10:41, 22 September 2006 (CDT)

I don't agree, (besides it's one persons opinion - a discussion would be best). The fact that an article is a stub isn't critical information, but it is worth a mention. Thus, a footer. just my opinion.
