HowTo Stub Template
The HowTo Stub template is for HowTo articles that could use some work. It can be used as well as or instead of the HowTo template.
A "stub" is an overly-short or incomplete article that needs to be expanded before it can truly be called a definitive treatment of its subject matter. Stubs are one of the many banes of Uncyclopedia's existence. So, why not learn how to create one?
Step 1
Come up with a great page name. The name you choose should be catchy and witty; a play on words that leaves the reader wanting to read more, while inducing at least a chuckle just by itself.
Step 2
Come up with about two legitimate (or semi-legitimate) sub-headings. The sub-headings don't have to be anything special, but they should build on the clever title of the article and should show what direction the article is heading (or would head, if the lazy author would just sit down and finish it).
Step 3
Write a sentence or two under each sub-heading. These need be even less legitimate than the sub-headings themselves, but they still cannot be pure nonsense. They should, along with the sub-headings, elicit one more laugh from the reader.
Step 4 (Optional)
Add a picture. One - no more, no less.
Step 5
Add the stub label at the bottom of the "article" you have created and wait for more industrious, comedic and talented cyberspace authors to come and breathe real life into your work. P.S. - This won't happen.

HowTo:Install a ceiling fan without getting your dick stuck in it
Hanging a ceiling fan is not mechanically difficult, and most fans come with detailed installation instructions.
However, many users have in the past complained about the clarity of the instructions available, so here we present what we hope will be the ultimate guide for how to install a ceiling fan without getting your dick stuck in it.
Before you begin any electrical work, turn off the power at the electrical panel and use the circuit tester to ensure that no power is present at the fixture. Do not stick your dick into the ceiling fan.
At no point during this step should your pants be around your ankles; this can lead to your dick getting stuck in the ceiling fan. (See more...)
