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.

  • Clever, but I think most people try to clear their head of the image of Chris's crotch, even if it is censored. --Champthom 00:06, 30 July 2009 (CEST)
  • Also, I do think that you're right about the text and that the current template doesn't really convey brevity (then again, that's because it was like, the first template made here as something to hold us over as people were trying to copy stuff from the old CWCki), but a different image or theme should be used other than Chris's crotch. --Champthom 00:08, 30 July 2009 (CEST)

  • Why not just apply this text to the current template with its regular pickle pic? Llort 14:55, 30 July 2009 (CEST)
  • While we're on the subject of article length: it might actually be time to create whatever the opposite of a stub template is. There are already some articles on CWCki that have grown a fair bit longer than they need to be, even when keeping in mind that "no detail is too minor". But that's just my opinion.
