** I think what me and Nova are thinking is that we used to have stub templates, but telling a user that a short page is short doesn't help loads. [[User:UltrasonicNXT|UltrasonicNXT]] ([[User talk:UltrasonicNXT|talk]])
*** Are loads a concern? Adding a couple extra bytes to a page shouldn't matter. The page will ideally become larger anyways and then remove the stub template, so really it's not like it'd ever "push" a page over the edge of how much the server can load. I think the benefits of stub categorization outweigh the concern of 50 extra bytes on a page at most. I'd much rather be able to filter something down to all the Bionicle-related stubs than have to sort through every Class 5, Class 4, and Class 3 article trying to find a Bionicle article that had something I knew how to improve. --[[User:ToaMeiko|ToaMeiko]] ([[User talk:ToaMeiko|talk]]) 16:58, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
***You could say, put what could be added to the page to make it longer in the template... [[User:CJC95|CJC95]] ([[User talk:CJC95|talk]]) 17:18, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
===CJC's long rambling comment===
This is being written at various free points over a period of couple of hours, so is probably incoherent. Hence why I've put it in its own section so I can use lots of bullet points without confusing things and to avoid a long text wall. Also, I haven't read most of the above since July, so forgive me if someone has already counter-argued my points/came up with solutions/is insulted by that.
