I was going around the wiki I admin on, looking to see what has all broken do to the update. Doing so, I came to find this page, https://idmanhwa.fandom.com/wiki/Page_layouts , was missing. I have found no logs proving it to have been deleted. It is like it never existed. However, I know I had it created on, or, just after, 3-14-16, when I added the pages it linked to.

As long as I am at it, I was wondering. Another wiki had content that was related to my wiki. It was decided that the pages did not meet their standards anymore, and no users to update the pages, so the content was deleted. I would like to save those pages. I was thinking about export/import but you can not do it with deleted pages. The other problem is that most of the pages would have names that are already being used on my wiki. Another option was suggested that I ask for the pages' source codes and go from there. At the same time I was asked to work on the pages on that wiki instead of hosting on mine. I have hard enough time finding time to work on my wiki.... My hope hosting the pages is that a fellow fan would see and take up the challenge. Either, the pages would be worked on then imported back to the original wiki, or, whomever could go and work on it there.

There is More I'd like to say but I can't seem to articulate my thoughts into words atm. I have been wanting to ask about this for three months now, and six hours off and on writing has only gotten me this far. I just am not sure of the correct course of action...

Short articles are terrible, and finding them and adding the stub template, hopping that someone knows more to add, just seems like a way to get easy edit points. With small, new, wikis, all articles are stubs, basically. And older wikis may have stubs that are not marked.

I would like to ask if there was a way for an admin to have the wiki automatically mark pages under a certain size?

If not, my question is for Fandom/Wikia developers. Can a tool be made for the Admin Dashboard?

Something like: Stub threshold: (a numbers input box; min 200) bytes.

I am not saying that you wont be able to add the template manually anymore. A page for Luke Skywalker that only has information from the movies and not any other canon sources is still a stub in my book, and should be marked as such.

However, sometimes an article will have no real amount of information. Ex: Suchandsuch died when his head was cut off on page 49. There is no other information. It is technically a stub, but the information is complete.

For this, something like __NOSTUB__ could be put on the page to remove stub status.

If there is any known CSS to my first question, or if you like my suggestion, (or if you feel I need to clarify something) please, feel free to leave a comment below.
