A stub is a short article that was created only as a starting point for a full article. At the very least, a stub should provide a basic definition. Better yet is to provide links to other articles in the wiki, further reading elsewhere, and perhaps a helpful illustration.

You can substantially improve AAPG Wiki by building stubs into fuller articles. Very short stubs should be either built upon or deleted — if there is no real content, then links to the article should be red links.

You can see a list of all the stub articles in this wiki in Category:Stubs.

'''Introductory or definition''' material goes here. The name of the article should appear close to the start, and in bold.

* List other sites on the Internet that might help the reader find out more.
