			==Compromise==
			I edited the stub so now it reads "This article, like Chris's pickle, is a bit small. You can help CWCki by expanding it" playing off the theme of the article being short like Chris's penis without actually invoking Chris's crotch directly. If you think it sucks, by all means change it back or make it something better. My only thing is that the image should be small-ish, not a huge one to take up a lot of space. --[[User:Champthom\|Champthom]] 13:25, 31 July 2009 (CEST)

VanKrause: Proposed new stub template

2009-07-29T15:28:02Z

Proposed new stub template

New page

== Proposed new stub template ==

I don't think the current stub template's all that great. It just says the article sucks, when instead it should convey an article's brevity. There can be stubs that don't suck, and long articles that do suck, so they're two different things. Anyway, I quickly gimped an image and knocked up a possible new template, see below.

<center><div class="boilerplate metadata" id="stub"><table cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" style="background-color:transparent; border:3px outset #228B22"><tr><td>[[Image:Stub.JPG|100px]]</td><td>'' This article is very short. You can help CWCki by [{{SERVER}}{{localurl:{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}|action=edit}} expanding it]''.</td></tr></table></div><includeonly>[[Category:Stubs<noinclude>|</noinclude>]]</includeonly></center>
