No, not that kind of stub!

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:Walk

Fall-down-stairs.jpg

This guide aims to teach you the basics of bipedal propulsion (also known as walking). This skill will enable you to move. Being able to move has many notable benefits, from accomplishing basic human functions to realising your deepest dreams. Experienced walkers often describe walking as a useful skill to have, especially in activities such as running away from terrorists or buying a coffee from Starbucks.

Although walking is an activity suitable for most people, there are still some requirements:

  • You must have at least two legs (three is fine, but a hundred is a bit too many). If you are unable to find them, locate them by looking down. They should come with the necessary bones, ligaments, and muscles for walking. If they do not, file a complaint to your mom.
  • You must be able to tell your left from your right (and your Trump from your Biden). Failure to do so can cause a major political scandal and/or the storming of your country's political legislative building. You can also trip and skin your knees.
  • Although a full brain is not required, a functioning motor cortex is preferable when learning to walk. If you discover that you do not have a functioning motor cortex, take one from a friend/family member or borrow one from your local library.
