Welcome to Guide:Notices. For many articles, there are Notice Templates which serve as signs. They each have a purpose; it may be to warn others that it is under vandalism; to ask users to expand articles, and more. Please do not use any Notices in its incorrect purpose. In this Guide article, we will show you how to use them properly.
Here are some that you may be familliar with:

Source code: "{{Stub}}".
{{Stub}} is a commonly used Notice in many wikis. It mostly serves as a notice that the page has less than the minimum amount of bytes that the page is supposed to occupy. Put simply; if the page is too short, possibly three or four sentences long, the Stub should be added at the top of the article.

Work in progress / W.I.P
This page was not finished, so DONT VANDALIZE IT FOR GODS SAKE- oops, sorry. |
Source code: {{W.I.P}}
Despite the unconventional abbreviation; two dots in eaach letter instead of three, this Notice frequently appears between pages. The said pages are not finished entirely. If an article has an indication that it is a work in progress, perhaps a "WORK IN PROGRESS" in bold text, delete the text and insert the template at the top.
