Stub class reader notices edit

Stub class articles need to be identified as such. Otherwise the reader is left with the impression that the incomplete article is an example of a complete, normal quality Wikipedia article.

For example, the article Isonym is confusing as hell but contains no disclaimer that it is a stub article. It leaves the reader assuming that it is a complete article up to Wikipedia's standards but frustrated over its lack of information.

So many times I see perfectly good articles slammed for incomplete citations for 2+2=4 information yet where it really is important (such as the cited example), nothing is being said. --ArtKocsis (talk) 15:34, 12 April 2019 (UTC)Reply
