FamilySearch Wiki:Stub

=What's a stub?= A stub is an article with little or no information. You are welcome to edit stub articles!

=Stubs about places: Add information!= Many stubs are about places. There are many types of information you can easily add to a place page, including but not limited to:


 * Ethnic groups
 * Events
 * Non-English Research Tools
 * County Origin. For instance, if the place page is about a county, the page could contain information about the county's parent counties. This information is often on the Family History Library Catalog. Include minimalist/simple/crucial information rather than general information.
 * Links to other helpful/relevant pages in Wiki
 * Links to pages on local ethnic, religious, or racial groups
 * Strategy docs/case studies
 * Gazetteers/place finding aids
 * Translation or handwriting guides
 * Links to pertinent online forums and discussion groups
 * Links to digitized county histories
 * Timelines covering (destruction of records, natural disasters, major migrations, etc..)
 * Genealogical/Historical Events in the local media
 * Images of the place or its records
 * Events that affect jurisdictions and records
 * Events affecting many deaths or migrations
 * Laws affecting adoptions, marriages, migrations, or record format
 * Laws affecting record access
 * Inventions (travel, migrations, etc.) epidemics, delays between inventions and their widespread acceptance (such as the Utah railroad)
 * Information on wars and drafts
