The "stub" template has two big problems. First, it's not always clear why an article has been marked as a "stub" -- it's not specific enough, and doesn't explain what kind of help an article needs. Second, the template doesn't go away when the article is improved -- somebody needs to remember to go take it off the page, once it's good enough.

mmm ... I think that is why human beings are writing articles and not bots!

i.e. So that the decision to remove (or not remove) a stub template is left as a subjective call on each contributor's part. To presume that a community does not use the stub tool correctly is not assuming good faith. Please do not think of Stikis as being a remedy for bad usage of the stub template and please ensure that any rules you give admins/syspos include leveraging stub in that rule.
