This list is incomplete. Wikipedia:Template-messages should be referred to instead.
The easiest method is to use {{stub}}. This will always display the latest version, as at Wikipedia:Template messages.
Alternatively, see Wikipedia:Template messages/Stubs for more specific stub notices, which will often cause the article to be expanded more rapidly than the generic stub notice will.
Substubs Substubs are even shorter than normal stubs. This message can be inserted with {{substub}}.

As maintext - See also: Style
- ''See also'': [[link1]], [[link2]], ...
As header with list of links ==See also== * [[Link 1]] * [[Link 2]]
External links
Titles PLEASE add a title to an external link by supplying a text after the URL separated by a space, preferably the official title of the site, or if no official title exists the clearest title you can come up with.
Most URLs are ugly and uninformative, so it is better to give an external link a meaningful title. For example,
is much more readable than The "printable version" of a page displays all URLs in full, including those given a title, so no information is lost.

Disambiguation - See also Wikipedia:Disambiguation, and remember to add the link to Wikipedia:Links to disambiguating pages or Wikipedia:Multiple-place names.
- A typical disambiguation page might look like this:
X can refer to: - Use
- {{disambig}}
- to add the footer text. See also: Wikipedia:Template messages
Multiple_definition pages If the page lists 2 or 3 terms, but the last is likely to be off_screen, add a TOC to the top of the page, so that someone arriving at the page will know that there are other definitions available.
With --FORCETOC-- or --TOC-- in the wikitext a TOC is added even if the page has fewer than four headings.
The TOC is put before the first section header, or in the case of --TOC--, at the position of this code.
Should we do this for all multiple-definition pages, for consistency?
